SPAD! (A1E) Skyraider 15 external hardpoints with a capacity of 8,000 lb (3,600 kg)

Skyraider II

Has a payload capacity of 8,000 pounds and features 10 external hardpoints, including eight wing hardpoints for 600-pound bombs and two centerline hardpoints for 1,000-pound bombs, with the innermost wing station optimized for armaments ranging from .50 caliber to 20mm.

A solid upgrade, going to be intrsting to see if these deploy on US/Mexico border.

“going to be intrsting to see if these deploy on US/Mexico border.”

That’s just what I wrote in #13 (before I saw your comment). Looks like a great slow and loiter ISR platform.
