Here's the Air Force's plan to train armed overwatch pilots
|
[AirForceTimes] Four months after military officials picked a modified crop duster as America’s newest counterterror plane, Air Force Special Operations Command is working to answer a crucial question: How do you fly it?
"We’re going to have to pay a lot of attention to training on this," AFSOC boss Lt. Gen. Jim Slife told reporters in September. "We haven’t operated, at scale, a tail-dragger aircraft in quite some time."
The Air Force and its special operations counterparts have sought a light attack and reconnaissance plane since 2009 but faltered at multiple points along the way. Their latest push began as an Air Force experiment in 2016 and morphed into a smaller procurement program overseen by SOCOM.
