If they want a prop plane, why not just bring back the Navy’s Skyraider, AD-1. This was truly a great attack aircraft. Put a turboprop in it.

If you can get it in the doors or hang it on the wing, it will get it off the ground.

Since the Navy and AF already use them as a training aircraft, they already have support personnel and pilots familiar with it, as well as an existing supply chain.

Makes sense from that standpoint.
