Oh yeah .....night and day when you get a pilot that flys VIP’s and is instructed to not spill their coffee and a pilot that has been shot at and is putting troops into a hot LZ fast !
I too would love to see what they can “really” do .
My observations here are limited these days as usually they are going into or from a landing / takeoff approach pattern. Cannon AFB over at Clovis NM on TX/NM border was supposed to get some of the ones allocated for USAF Spec Ops but unsure if that has taken place yet. Kirtland AFB has em over near Tijeras Slim .......PJ’s new ride I am told !
I’d love to see what some of the TF-160 hotshot pilots could do with them after a few months of fam flights.
That should be awesome for SOFs.
