Thanks gramps lol

Umm, theres quite a few flying leathernecks I know that would like to teach the commandant how to suck eggs in lieu of what has been happening across the corps but that is another story.

Back to target sorry topic, and yours and everybody when sorry oops if the Army pick the Raider X, in a weird form or fashion, forget the X2 technology its the human ergonomics here.

- side-by-side seating -great for CRM, Human factors no different to Kiowa Warrior of past or the armed Huey gunships over SEA

Though I wonder if the weight of the Raider X might be something to contend with as put it another way, was it not one of the factors re the large SB-1 design which the army shook its head and went hell no lets go to V-280 Valor.

cheers
