Will that replace the T38? (Or was that replaced ages ago?)

Went through Alamagordo often when I lived in NM. I lived in Silver City most of that time 1972-1986. First 9 months I lived in NM was in Las Cruces. Wife liked the mountain better so we moved there.

Lots of my ham op friends worked at the labs & military bases. Good bunch of guys.

White Sands is an amazing place.

Piffle ... Close Air Support, my @$$. What a lightweight, candy-ass little plane.

You want close air support that can take a licking, keep on ticking, and continue to destroy everything in its path, you call in the Warthogs.
