Yeah, yeah….I’ve heard that before!Let me remind the dreamers among us... none of this will ever happen... ever.

Not sure what you base that on, Brett. SOCOM is buying weaponized Air Tractors, so stupid shit happens all the time...Let me remind the dreamers among us... none of this will ever happen... ever.
I base it on experience, but I t’s just an opinion. Nobody can predict with absolute certainty, but that’s what I’m going with. Others may feel differently.Not sure what you base that on, Brett. SOCOM is buying weaponized Air Tractors, so stupid shit happens all the time...
Just saying.
See, if this is what VPenis had been like prior to 737s, y'all would have been a lot cooler. And arresting gear engines everywhere would have been grateful. ?All joking aside about the possibility of this really happening in the USAF, this is pretty impressive.
US-2 is a unique airframe. Develpoment costs would make it unfeasible. LM has had a float equip mod in work for decades - it has been sitting on shelf awaiting final development. This is a short putt for existing J model. Heard USCG is onboard as well if it goes forward. If I had to guess there is waffling and need someone to say "hey the requirement is real, go pull the trigger"Well that’s that.
Y’all are a lot smarter than me, why not just get the US-2? Hell, get a license and have Lockheed build em
Based on the current china situation, including a surveillance balloon over the U.S. as we speak, it seems the requirement is realUS-2 is a unique airframe.

There’s no requirement for that capability. Requirements drive acquisitions.Well that’s that.

How the fuck do you look at a weather balloon from China and infer a need for a seaplane capability?Based on the current china situation, including a surveillance balloon over the U.S. as we speak, it seems the requirement is real
Like we looked at Afghanistan and invaded Iraq.How the fuck do you look at a weather balloon from China and infer a need for a seaplane capability?
