Slater Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think that USAF actually prefers the A-29 over the AT-6, but they can't really say it out loud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, the purchase of a COIN aircraft for Afghanistan (& Lebanon) was a USAF-run project (Light Air Strike LAS), with a competitive tender. This resulted in the selection of the A-29: this process withstood the (inevitable) recompete after the protest by Beechcraft (AT-6 manufacturer). https://www.law360.com/articles/419523/beechcraft-loses-out-on-428m-afghan-aircraft-contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
