    HA! You guys are full of great stories. That's rich, cheap FPV drones delivering warheads. Jumper must have laughed out loud. Next you're gunna tell me there will be land war in Europe in the 2020's!
  2. Yeah there definitely was some untapped potential with the SLUF. I mentioned this before on my old account but we had a bunch of solid light attack/low end CAS platforms during the cold war (OV-10, A-37, A-4M, A-7D/E etc) that all went bye-bye in the early 90s when we really could've used them in OEF/OIF. They had great loiter time but more importantly would've saved flying hours on 4th gen and could've been a cockpit filler for dudes flowing into fighters like they did in the 80s... Also sidenote and this probably belongs in another thread but IRT the F-20 I remember reading that Chuck Yeager personally botched a high profile business deal with some foreign country when he was representing it. Feel free to fact check me on this but needless to say dude was not a good salesman for Northrop
  3. I was thinking more ATF, "you wanna mount cannons on an attack aircraft. Let's just dig into your background."
  4. Always thought that was a missed opportunity like the F-20 Modernized A-7 model built by a hobbyist, probably pretty close to what an updated F/A-7 would be https://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=9313.0

    Really? Seems like a different platform for a different set of requirements. Surprised they are not looking at a CASA 235 or other like aircraft unless they want a lotta range for PACOM.
  6. If anyone isn't already reading the HAF Daily Current Ops Update on SIPRNET on a daily basis, I'd strongly encourage them to do so! There's a link to it on the BaseOps Intellipedia page (yes, BaseOps has an Intellipedia page!), just search for 'Air Force Operations Group'. I just added the direct link to the briefs.
  7. Wow, crazy thread. Stumbled on it by accident. I worked for Foglesong when he was a mere O3 flying T-33s. He was detachment commander; I think we had 4 pilots counting Bob. We didn't really have a lot of drama with him in those days tho there was some noise about friction between him and his ops officer. I guess authority went to his head tho because some of these stories...just...holy crap. We figured he was on some sort of fast track when general Creech showed up for a looksee at our little operation. Seemed highly unusual. Bob left soon after to fly F-15s. I lost track after that.
