"Break out the old A-1 Skyraiders aka “Spad”. "
I am an advocate of doing just that. Not pulling the old prints and building them, but of a new design prop job for close air support and ground attack hunter / killer role. Having a few dozen of this type of aircraft in Afghanistan, with the terrain and type of enemy we face there, could be very beneficial...

Not a bad idea. Those old boys could carry a load, had lots of loiter time, and could put the ordinance where it mattered.
