Heck, that thing could easily land between the round down and the 1 wire.How long is a carrier deck? I could probably get an 802 stopped no problemo especially if it gets a tailhook

Cropdusters are scary. Especially, the ones in Imperial County that scare the shit out of you at night with their bank of lights coming up at you, then doing a wingover to make their next run. Those dudes have brass balls.

So can the Rhino if you're a good enough deck spotter.
No ejection seats? No thanks.
I'll take the better kinematics and survivability of an AT-6 any day and twice on Sundays.
Nah, man. I'm just trying to live.
SOCOM already decided on the other airplane. Trying to sell USG on AT-6 is a fool's errand. I was just writing to my own personal preference.

I think the dude is taking advantage of the fact that dudes in or around his peer group are Admirals now. He’s within his rights I suppose, but I also suppose his departure from USNI was more due to his desire to focus on his own brand than the org that gave him a platform. I guess they can’t all be Tom Clancy.
Do you have a question or comment about what C5F said?
Nope
I found it of interest thought others would as well.
@ChuckMK23 must think AirWarriors is like Twitter; just slap it on the wall without comment and wait for users to like and comment…..
@ChuckMK23, in the future, please a comment on stuff you post….like “I found this interview below interesting!”
I suspect Chuck disagrees with something the Admiral said, but would prefer to avoid a potentially embarrassing situation.
Just outstanding critical reporting by 60 Minutes. One of the true old-school hard news organizations remaining in today's media. The Navy has not always leaned into the PA game - and frankly its refreshing to see candid access by journalists covering all things maritime. I remember flying around news crews during DS and the Navy then was always hesitant and reluctant to welcome journalists - as opposed to AF which really saw the importance of the public affairs gamesmanship. Clearly Navy leadership has corrected from the previous generation of thinking.
The Huthis are still at it, hitting a cargo ship that was subsequently abandoned by its crew and claim to have shot down an MQ-9.
