Or are we going to see local police departments getting these to target crack houses. :)
what niche is this jet targeting? can’t be anything related’to actual warfare dogfighting, only being able’to fly 523mph, max.
Is the photo a trainer variant of is this a two-seater aircraft? Thanks for posting this.
Can it take the place of the A-10?
Don’t think so.
That is one maneuverable looking bad boy.
Isn’t “Scorpion” a racist name?
Looks like the perfect plane for tin pot dictators in third world nations.
Looks like the perfect platform to fight the last war and coin operations where the adversary is armed with rocks.
At least it has canted vertical stabilizers. That looks really modern and anti-radar like stuff, things, sort of.
It should make a magnificent platform to suppress any tea party.
At least they did it with their own money, I guess.
Gotta be Scorpion II. There has already been a Scorpion, the F-89.
Interceptor circa mid 50s.
Apart from the A-10, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a jet without swept wings. Not meant for high-subsonic speeds, I take it?
The appearance of Cessna aircraft has changed somewhat from what I was accustomed to.
