I wouldn’t exactly call the Tucano a fighter. Maybe a light ground support aircraft? It would definitely be an A-something, not an F-something.

I wouldnt exactly call the Tucano a fighter. You don't live in Afghanistan.
Would you call this a bathroom ?

The news media call all military aircraft “fighter jets.” I remember one time a reporter called the U.S. Navys S-3 Viking a “submarine jet fighter.” Once won dope in the media makes a mistake all the others repeat the error.

It appears we’re purchasing these for the Afghan military, which currently has jack squat. They should be happy with it. Of course, Taliban and Al Qaeda don’t even have air forces, so this is cutting edge in that neck of the woods. In a world without rifles, the man with a pistol is king.

Take a good look at what will doubtless be an instrument of 0bama’s Rural Pacification program.
