The super tucano is a great plane. Saddened me that the Navy and Air Force couldn’t get them operational in a much quicker fashion and on a much larger scale.

The super tucano is a great plane. Saddened me that the Navy and Air Force couldn’t get them operational in a much quicker fashion and on a much larger scale. They provide better ground support and targeting, longer on station time, and all at a substantially cheaper cost than fixed-wing. Plugging square, fixed-wing jets into round, low-threat-CAS holes cost the American tax payers billions. This is one of my greatest disappointments in military leadership.
