I would think they would do pretty good in the mountain regions, by being able to get right into those tight valleys sneak up on those rag heads and then pull up as they launch those missiles right down the entrances to those hard to get to caves.

Any plane with 2 x 50 cal gatling guns and ‘Tractor’ in it’s name is beyond cool. Makes spraying the bugs take on a whole new meaning. I want one!

Low, slow, ass in the weeds, long loiter time, ability to pound bad guys for a long time......love it. Looks like it’d be a blast to fly, too.
I want one.
BTW.....another perfect use for such an aircraft: Forward Air Controller (FAC) missions. Absolutely perfect.

Looks to use a liquid cooled engine. I wonder what type of armoring they use for the engine area? Surely they’re aware of liabilities faced by the P-51 when used for ground attack.

The MX-15Di imagery can be viewed in the back seat on a 17in display, while the pilot has a 6in screen. Just like a video game! These things sound like they might be cheap to buy too.

They ought to get the Lopresti Brothers involved.
Like their late dad Roy, they can eek 20mph out of darn near any airplane via parasie drag reduction. This would lead to greater rates of climb and longer loiter times, maybe the 20mph on the top end is not always needed, but anyone would take the other bennies in a heartbeat...

Just a small point, for those of you of the "black helicopter" mind set, this would be a very effective platform for the suppression of "uppity" tea party activists and those who might chose to oppose the Obama administration when they declare martial law just prior to the 2012 election.
. . . just sayin' :)
