If the Rooskies can’t use them, I will take one for free with maintenance package and a boatload of the ordnance.

[bigmak007]

Wouldn’t it be fun to rob a Starbucks with one of those....

[SeeSharp]

A helicopter doesn't have to land on a ship. I imagine the Russian army would love to have these.

Quote from The Dirty Dozen:

Pinkley: [impersonating a general] Very pretty, Colonel, Very pretty, But, can they fight?

[xone]

I would use mine for good.

[papertyger]

I’d like to know how they expect to get the most out of this beast without a WSO?

I mean seriously! This thing SHOULD be the fastest rotor wing combatant in the air, but they take a guy OUT?

[miliantnutcase]

I’d fly mine to work everyday and park in the CEO’s spot.

[bigmak007]

Wouldn’t it be fun to shut down CNN with one....

[PapaBear3625]

They hope to be able to sell them to various countries in need of a cheap-but-capable helicopter gunship.

[xone]

Would only last for that day. CNN is imploding, the ordnance would be better used elsewhere.

[SJSAMPLE]

They’ve already got them in the Ka-50 “Black Shark”.

[MUDDOG]

it might prove to be a very potent multirole platform

Long as it's not up against Rambo in a Huey.

A helicopter doesn't have to land on a ship. I imagine the Russian army would love to have these.

The Marines would love to have A-10s.

Wouldn’t it be fun to scare the “?” out of the PHX AZ-201 speeders or the Tucson to PX I-10 speeders??

[bigmak007]

Wouldn’t it be fun to scare the illegals on the border!!!

[Vendome]

Stallone will shoot that thing out of the sky.....with a bow and arrow...

[UCANSEE2]

Like this ?

AH!Believable-Vol. 1-"Ridiculous Speed Sign"

[SandRat]

After scaring Phx and Tucson. Nogales, Naco and Douglas are next.

Landing it on the Military side of Libby Army Air Field, Fort Huachuca, would be fun. :8^}

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I would attack Mecca with mine.
