What are we doing?
The role these ac are intended to fill can be done by the J, only done better – and that’s not my opinion but that of a number of pilots and ALMs on the J that have also spent a lot of time in the particular role we’re talking about.
Also these particular K frames are already an electrical nightmare – new kit integrated into an old airframe using a system of springs, wires and sealing wax. Why even try when we have an ac that is virtually plug n play - and could do the job to such good effect?
