Actual active duty or in private hands?

That is cool, but I was wondering about actual active duty military service. Something that could be used in a war. I know the USS Constitution is considered a commissioned Navy ship but I don't think it will ever be used in a patrol.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to decoy a 30mm round headed your way.
You won't hear me argue, the A-10 is a great plane. But it's not a cheap plane to operate either. I'd love to see the USAF adopt an armed reconnaissance/light attack turboprop, like the OV-10 was used in Vietnam. Much of the work that the A-10 does over in the sandbox is ISR work, its total overkill for the job.

I know it isn't cheap, but I can't imagine anything else being able to cover and loiter better right now.

Hasn't your company been working on a COIN aircraft similar to the Embraer?

Yup, I spent significant time on the program. As of now, neither has many fans in the USAF. Too much jet bias, not many prescribe to the "less is more" philosophy. A turboprop actually has much greater loiter time than a jet due to much lower fuel burn, especially with a couple of external fuel tanks. You won't be dropping JDAMs with it, but is that really required to take out some insurgents in a Toyota pickup?

Hopefully Textron's new Scorpion jet finds some favor.
