i dare you to try it...up an i-16 with the weakest gun package cut the throttle back so the plane doesn't fly faster than 125mph level...see how well it works out over a gv battle. but then even the i-16 can take more machine gun damage than anything people are thinking they want for "spy" planes.
You could also fly an F-5 <P-38>
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions I HOPE WE GET A SPYPLANE!
