my older son, an engineer, usaf major, and senior-rated, special-operations pilot at hurlburt/duke, spent several months in waco flying and evaluating the air tractor. he concluded that the air tractor is an awful choice. so naturally it was chosen.
Ask him if he ran into Major General Sean M Farrell while there. He is the son of one of my classmates-Rtd. Lt General Lawrence "Larry" Farrell.
