My mind can be changed. Give me some links to places that back up your claims so that I may see the errors from my research. Otherwise, don't waste my time.

Sorry but I'm not an internet commando. I spent three years of 12+ hour days making the AT-6 into a viable CAS platform, testing it with the USAF, and working through evaluations with a number of domestic and foreign entities. I know the airplane inside and out because I lived it. I also spent a significant amount of time working competitive intelligence on the A29 because it was our primary competitor. In addition, because our aircraft utilized the mission computer from the A-10 I spent days at the Lockheed location that does their system integration work, meeting with A-10 pilots and crew at Ft. Smith AR, and talking with A-10 crew on the flightline at Davis-Monthan AFB. So I have a little more background than what can be captured with a copy/paste of an internet link. Care to qualify your experience with the topic?

It's the CICU! I've carried a few of those myself, not a compact SOB.
