ID this

[Enforcer57]

WEll DAMN! I didnt get here in time to put my 2 cents in, but it would hve been

ironic for me to have put the id on the enforcer....get it...enforcer ids the enforcer.... :roll:

man you people have no sense of humor.

I DID recognize it though....have an old air progress or some such mag on it. The only

reason the USAF bought 2 is because of congressional pressure-as usual the ones who

think we should still be using muzzleloaders wanted to scrap the A-10 and build this instead.

While it would be a good coin aircraft, the usaf needed a tactical attack plane to take on

warsaw pact armor and Air defences. The pipers wouldve been targets to a ZSU or any of

the short range SAMs. Cant carry quite as much to deal with such.

Im hoped that at least one would make ti to the civie market.

The CAvalier project had a much longer engine on it....downright freakish looking. I

got an old air classics issue with it on the cover.

The enforcer originally retained the 6 .50s I think.....Man this would be a fun plane to fly though.

can you imagine the ass-whupin you could put on everyone else wiht this thing (including most

jets in the sim).

The B-18 had me totally stumped....not even close.
