Ithink it would take a good bit of time to get production going again for the Skyraider.
The Super Tucano is in production now.
A Brazilian bird - but Highly capable
I’ve seen the Super Tucano flown by the Brazilian precision flight team, the “Smoke Squadron”...it’s a very capable airplane indeed. Nothing fancy, nothing spectacular. Just a solid, maneuverable, simple turboprop that can carry a reasonable amount of boom-boom and get it on target. Sometimes, simple is good, but it can be very hard to convince the USAF brass of that, it seems.
