Any word on engine teardown intervals? Obviously a turboprop.... do they just stick a 5 inch scope in an inspection port every 100 hours?
If the maintenance side is as impressive as the capabilities, I'm for it.

They should redeploy the 50 mm cannon on fighter/bombers which McNamara eliminated. The pilots loved them and they can do the job much cheaper than rockets in many cases. It doesn’t have to be either or, it can be both.

With these drones...any need for pilots these days? That is non-key board pilots.
