I spose a cessna might have quite a bit of survivability and take a lot of airframe punishment as long as the fuel or engine weren't hit, especially due to the low wing loading.
I wonder how long it will be before more capable planes start appearing, as it isn't impossible to get an L-39 or something like that into there.

The Cesspit F150's service ceiling isn't quite as awful as that wretch, but at least it can sup at the normal AAR levels and doesn't have to call the tanker down to meet it. What's more, the location of the probe - abaft the prop as it is - makes AAR ops much more sporty than the usual sluggish kiss'n'tell poke that the doggie old F3 just about manages on a sunny day.
Furthermore, the F150's stickmonkey can give a very sharp rap on the knuckles if his passenger wakes up and starts touching shiney buttons. That's difficult for the cockpit attendant to do to his rear-gunner in an F3.
Thanks to the collapse of the Dubya Dollar, a free Witchita Lineman is provided with every Cesspit F150. This was originally a limited edition bonus, in memoriam of the fuel management skills of Cap'n Campbell, but is so cheap that we've made it generally available to all our esteemed customers. This has been most popular with our clients and is so much better than the previous outsourcing to India which was so confusing due to those headbobbing non-verbal signals which were so easily misunderstood.

Very few people have copies of the original drawing of the Tremblers' new AD kit. Done by Captain A Galloway... I've got one somewhere, in which case we probably know each other..
