September 18, 201312 yr That would make a great Trainer jet. Most likely they will target nations with smaller military budgets. New Zealand is a nation without fighter jets as most of the spending goes towards the Army, Navy and Helicopter roles. Air Force is a more supportive role then a combat role. Would be cool to see some of those come here. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

Would be cool to see some of those come here. It's not just meant as a trainer, but also as a cost effective close air support plane. You don't need to be able to do Mach 2 for the kind of fighting seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. John-Alan Pascoe

September 18, 201312 yr I find it disturbing a long time civilian aircraft manufacture has to enter the worlds arms race. I suppose Beechcraft will follow. More killing machines.
September 18, 201312 yr I find it disturbing a long time civilian aircraft manufacture has to enter the worlds arms race. I suppose Beechcraft will follow. More killing machines. I'd advise you not to look up the HawkerBeechcraft AT-6 then . It's hardly Cessna's first military aircraft either. In the 1960ies they built the A-37 Dragonfly (roughly the same type of role as the Scorpion) and there were armed versions of the C337 Skymaster (if I got the number right, the in-line twin engined one anyway).
