Return of Turboprops to CAS role?

My favorite thing about the Super Tucano is that it is apparently shark-mouth-capable

I dont know how they do it in other countries but for our turbo-weenies, the one's that have the shark motif I'm pretty sure denote that they have survived some sort of mishap (i.e. - belly landing, bad bird strike, etc.).

I think that's sort of like the tradition of statues of generals on horses (how many hooves in the air indicates how the general died). It's true, unless it's not.
 
Would this be a dual pilot aircraft, or a pilot and a nfo? Sounds like a fun backseat job :D

I can only imagine that the rear-seat crewman is an NFO or enlisted sensor operator. JMHO, of course.
 
Well, the ejection seats work in the Super Tucano

Don't think that you would need to have a FAC-A qual. Purpose of the plane is to support SOF, who will have a JTAC. And depending on what you have loaded, you probably won't be busy down low.

My guess is that this will die -- it will need survivability equipment and high end FLIR system -- probably not in the offering.....

:) What do you think about that one Hey Joe?
