Just read about this while looking at financial news about Lockheed. Interesting jet; flew for first time last December according to Wikipedia...

An idea that makes sense! Of course, so does keeping the A-10...

When you said Scorpion jet I thought of this big old beast...

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Yeah, I got a lot of images of that bird when I googled for more info. I agree about keeping the A-10; it's a much tougher bird than the Cessna sourced bird.

It looks like someone drove a Hornet up the back end of a Kawasaki T-4...
