It's a most impressive aircraft, on the ground. How it performs remains to be seen.

It has two beam look out positions with great viz, only feet away from the sensor stations that have no clutter in the way to have a quick look out of the window. Very spacious cabin, loads of room.

It is fitted with a very capable MX-20 (Wescam) turret that can be mounted either forward or aft. Beats the eyeball most days.

Fantastic on paper, let's see how it performs - particularly at low level (500') on that wing. Fingers crossed.
