So AF pilots who "draw" this plane for their assignment will be getting a tailwheel endorsement and training for becoming a civilian "duster" pilot. It seems that drones are taking over the close support function and the "duster" work these days. They don't have the "protect the meatbag" requirement. Will "dusters" be getting ejection seats, too?
I wonder if it will have carrier-ops capability. It's handy to have a "bird farm" to deliver them close to the action.
