I am going to see if I can get some replies on this one. I have grown to really respect this aircraft. It has impressive capabilities and if I were a pilot, I wouldn’t mind trying my hands out on this bird. It has that nice M61A1 gun we all love with 1,000 rounds of 20-mm ammo. It also can carry up to 15,000 lb. of pretty much any air-to-ground weapon you can think of. It is fairly fast for a subsonic attack aircraft and it has great range as well plus aerial refuelling capability. It can even act as a buddy tanker. I know that Greece and Thailand operate them, I know that Portugal used to. They might still use them, I am just not sure of their status though. What are opinions on this aircraft also know as the SLUF (you fill it in…)
