Happy to see this was a collaboration with Boeing, if it couldn’t be pure American made.
The head-on photo showing the down-swept wings makes it appear to be swaggering, a la GWB; which was one of the things about him that drove the metrosexual libs crazy. Having worn cowboy boots for many years, it has become second nature to swagger just a bit when wearing cowboy boots. It’s just easier to perambulate in them if you swagger just a tad. But....the libs in their Gucci loafers and flipflops would never understand that!
“The aircraft is designed to establish new standards in its category, with a lower operating cost and the flexibility to perform a variety of missions: cargo and troop transport, troop and cargo air delivery, aerial refueling, search and rescue, and combating forest fires, among others.”
Just like the Warthog, no respect for the C-130. I imagine these folks could not have reached for their design target if not for Lockheed ending the building of new C-130’s. Let’s see this thing land and take off on freshly cleared jungle hilltops.
I don’t know its numbers, but it’s one bad-ass looking plane.
