Super Tucanos are VERY capable aircraft.

THe SOCOM boys wouldn’t put in a specific request for them if they were not EXACTLY the right tool for the task at hand

The Skyraider, as I recall, was a P-47 on steroids. It was the ground attack aircraft most feared by the NVA.

If the Army was allowed to operated the Skyraider as a ground attack aircraft to supplement the A-10, many of our problems with ground attack would be over.

The Spad, if they brought it back, could do the job.

Best,
