Another question, what about rearming this bird? Normally you land at the field, go to rearm pad wait 30 seconds. Would this bird have the ability to land on the battlefield, taxi up to ground supplies and reload that way? I understand (possibly wrong) that these FAC planes would land at random places and refuel from jeeps, etc as part of the rapidly shifting parameters of the battlefield.
I think it should be able to rearm this way. Makes for a more dynamic operating envelope. What do you think?
