Looks like a WWII Spit Fighter except it has modern weapon mounts and electronics.

It can be outfitted to fire nearly anything it can take off with.

Good close support plane, but drones still are better and you can get them cheaper.

Only thing this has on a drone is the flexible weapons packages it can use.

But can it fly over an erupting volcano which is spitting fire?

Just follow your nose, it always knows-the smell of insurgents.

OV-10
Twin engine
high wing (does not block the vision of the pilot, unlike the ST)
4 MG
Can deploy paratroopers

Ya, but the SPAD is better yet..... Still, our miltary is looking at an upgraded OV-10 for a COIN A/C.
