They can fly at low altitudes below radar systems, delivering a dozen troops to a target area.

If it can do that, who cares how many wings it has?

That should have its own thread ... it's own life

I'm old enough to remember bits and pieces of conversations adults had when they weren't very careful about keeping little ears out of their conversations .... not like today when a child calls an adult relative by a first name without the proper 'aunt' or 'uncle'

Watch this clip again and transpose everything Korean and Communist to Iran and ISIS and check up on your own thought processes

We never should have stopped showing this stuff and should have screamed bloody murder when they shuffled 9/11 footage into a back room ... darkened and silent

I'm ashamed of my lack of power to excite people ... hell. of my lack of power to INcite people ... to feel what I feel when I'm reminded of an America I KNOW existed once

Those AN-2’s are flying tanks. I’ve been in one (didn’t fly it) and they’re like rock solid. Carries a big payload and can land on anything harder than water. Shouldn’t knock it.

Deliver a dozen starving troops ...

Better to drop them from some altitude and then SPLAT.

After the repainting Kim Un asked if anybody could see the planes. All the 4’ Generals answered NO.

That would be kind of scary to see in real life.
