    Me likey...Budget Attack Jet

    Kind of looks like an F-15's baby brother at 1/10th the hourly operating cost of an F-16.

    I wonder if they'd consider making a civilian-legal version?

    Interesting concept. Now if those were unmanned.... Article didnt say anything about that. Kinda looks more F-14ish with broad tail fins and fully extended wings.

    Low altitude moonshine still and pot field interdiction...

    If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation

    And like the F-5 it will never be adopted by the USAF. Nice idea and makes sense, but not going to happen.
