dtfl said:You are so right, mr Poser who has never seen the front seat of an MC130. CAS has failed. That is the reason the AF has spent BILLIONS on it....in the form of the F16, F15E, and two cheap planes that happen to have been BUILT for CAS....A10 and AC130 Spectre/Spooky gunship.
Should we call 911 to get you some more oxygen?

I have served coffee to MC-130 a/c commanders on training ops in a futile effort to get the disinterested bastards to put us on the right spot.
fyi: The AF is phasing out the A-10s and they have about 18 gunships to cover the entire world. You call that a commitment to CAS? The current budget is being thrown at the F-22.
The AF needs to be prepared to fight today's war as well as tomorrow's.
