[Daveroo]

hey all...last night i got an email news story,can remember right now who it was from,i get so many of them,but it said that the USAF had finally awarded Sierra Nevada corporation the contract for the EMB A-29 super tacano light attack role,i went to read more about it this morning and all i can find is the stories from 2011 when beachcraft pitched the fit at the original choice.has anyone seen any news?.....the story i saw had it all laid out..would be a multi role trainer/COIN

finally, buying a ready made proven aircraft for the role rather than buying into a long and expensive testing program with no promised results!
