A little OT...

Got inspiration from Tarmac's post about the Super Tucano. So, I managed to squeeze in something I haven't done in ages...aircraft repaints for Flight Simulator...

So here's what a Tucano would look like in Philippine Air Force colors!









Will post a video in the Flightsimming section of the hobby subforums soon.

medyo OT: maayung buhaton nila mga bag-o nga armas de fuego, igong supply sa mga bala ug uban pang gamit sa sundawo saktong training sad... ug ilang angay paliton kanang makargahan sa mga sundawo mga chinook basta makargahan para gamit pang drop2x ug pag karga, mapuslan jud nuon na nila... kay kuwang man lagi kuno tas budget ingun ang goberno....

Dunay long range nga radar. morag hawkeye style. mahal lang. sa atoa morag mas flexible ang choppers, tungod sa islands.

Mahal ra ang Apache Longbow. We don't need the Longbow radar anyway (it has been deactivated on some Ah-64Ds serving in Iraq and Afghanistan).

Nice repaint. A Super Tucano in the PAF inventory looks to be a long shot though.

The nice thing about the Imminent Fury Super Tucano is it has the capability to use precision guided munitions. Warheads on foreheads, they like to say. That's more bang for the buck. In taking out a target, one Tucano can do what might require a half-dozen OV-10s or SF260TPs with iron bombs and rockets.

The inevitable follow-up question would then be, Can we afford precision munitions in the first place?

bitaw kumbate ra na!, $9 million each and design and suited to the Amazon region (high temperature, moisture, and precipitation; low threat) or the military can buy M1A2 Abrams costing $4.35 million (one of the meanest tanks of the world)

for me, mas maau ug superior ta sa sky ug land kay mas pabor ta. hehehe.. taking for example naa tay cobra/apache/tucano, paksit jud ang ASG, ug other rebels then upgrade tas ato camps ang equipments.

hinoon, ang Bell AH-1G HueyCobra mas cheaper gamay kaysa apache, ang cost is US$11.3 million compared sa AH-64D Apache costing US$18 million.

ang cobra kay magulang sa huey, ug unya ang cobra manghod sa apache.. hehehe
