It will have the ability to support special operations forces as well as the Joint... Force through close air support, precision strike, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.”show more

So what’s wrong with the A-10?

Ain’t no freaking way we got Dusty Crophopper the duster to replace the A-10… ew.

Updated Stuka…

It’s a crop duster.

These posters that are thinking that calling this aircraft a Crop duster is something derogatory, aircraft built to be crop dusters are built to work long hours with minimum maintenance hauling heavy loads in confined spots. And this aircraft is a sister ship to the Fire Boss.

Some what like the old Sandies in Vietnam possibly. Is this the USAF effort to replace the A-10?

what was the last taildragger the Air Force had? going to be lots of ground loops in the future.

It looks like a "crop duster" on steroids.

How many millions or billions to design….a crop duster!

Oh that's cool Just more taxpayer dollars being spent

Call signs could be “duster” for all flights

The Air Tractor!!!!!

They should let us old 58D pilots take one for a spin...

So a mustang with flir Good job

Save the A-10 before it’s too late!!!

Was this Mike Patey's secret project? The wall of glass panels looks like his work. Retrofitting a crop duster's wings to carry military applications is right up his alley. It's great to see the defense department deliver a cost effective airplane.

It's still not as good as the A10

Cool.

That’s pretty cool I want to fly one.

Total joke, it is a glorified crop duster.

I like the OH-1 better

Dusty crophopper got an upgrade.

SF running the crop duster. For real though. If you can build an effective and relatively cheap weapon for the Military, great.

Made by the lowest bidder.

Billion dollar garbage.

@DaleStarkA10 what do you think?

Looking to see if this was posted on 4-1. That’s the only logical explanation

There’s a billboard for these bad bois just outside of MacDill AFB lol

This’ll fit in well at cannon afb
