It can handle up to 26 mm rounds in the fusilage and 12.6 mm in the tailfan and still fly.

 

It all sounds good on the surface, but redundancy is only good to a point. Again, I'm not trying to discredit the Commanche, but all new military aircraft are built on the concept of redundancy. When the time comes, you'll see the concept again. It may differ slightly, but it'll embody the same concept. Who knows, by then you'll be a seasoned pilot and pull more weight to getting on the program.

 

I hope so.

 

I hear "test pilot" in Iuke's future...

 

Damn...this has ruined my day. I want the Comanche as much as I wanted my S2000.

 

 

^ about the test pilot comment

Bummer, Luke. I know how much you wanted to fly that bird. I can't believe the Army is doing this. After all the time and money they spent, they've still got 2 bil in ternination costs.
