Who the fuck decided to strap Hellfires to a fucking Cessna?
We should strap hellfires onto more things.
>>64654612i did
Did someone say "Cessna"?
>>64654612I did
"Cessna"The Caravan has the same engine power and power-to-weight ratio than a fighter of 1936 (Bf 109 A, early models)
>>64654612Someone based
>>64654612A genius that's who.
>>64654612>Who the fuck decided to strap Hellfires to a fucking Cessna?People who have Hellfires and a Cessna and want to blow something up low&slow.
>>64654612Happened a lot during Vietnam, the rhodies did it with a Skymaster

I like that this thread has become a big ordnance on small planes discussion. Dog bless you anons!
>>64655000>big ordnance on small planes discussionsome readinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_Forward_Air_Controllers
>>64654626Those things are tiny in person. Like a Miata with wings. Landing gear is so short they're like waist height on the ground.
>>64655024>That wiki imagePretty rad anon thank you I have my Christmas read planned now.
>>64655000Not a big weapon but the croats nigger rigged Yugoslav copies of the french LRAC on UTVA 75 trainers in the 90s
>>64655043On the one hand they all look like movie stars, as if it was a picture from a set or something. On the other hand, they absolutely look like the kinda guys who think it's only gay to take, not give
>>64655135So you're saying they're part of the navy? Got it!
Smaller plane!More missles!
>>64655135They were Air Force, CIA and "contractors" and weirdly took orders only from the Ambassador to Laos.

What are the FAA regs on arming private aircraft? Not a gun in the cockpit, mounted weapons. Abiding by all BATFE rules, of course.

>tfw ywn strap hind pods to a cessna seaplane to hunt drug boats as a privateer
>>64655265>What are the FAA regs on arming private aircraft?Gay. The regs are gay.
>Well, one of us is going to have to change.
Turboprop COIN mustang, my beloved...
>>64655533So you don't know but want external valibation. Got it.
>>64655000tu es comme un petit bébé, regarde ça
>>64655573as an aircraft expert I can assure you that I looked into it one time and decided they were gigga gay and we should kill all bureaucrats
>>64655564>top leftWhat an ugly mfer.
>>64655024I grew up in a USAF family in the springs. One of these dudes would babysit me. One of my regrets is not appreciating what as badass he was until I got into the macv sog stuff.When I was a child I wasn't interested because it wasn't a "fighter jet"
If you dont AA a Cessna may as well be a F-35 to you What are you going to do? yell at it?
Are military Cessas the sky equivalent of a Toyota technical?
>>64655527>>64655043absolutely mirin>those bell bottoms and bootsrockin
>>64655564I haven't seen many planes that I'd describe as looking autistic, but top left definitely qualifies.
Is it possible to easily add hardpoints to a light aircraft that is not designed to carry weapons without having to redesign the wings?
>>64656449Your biggest hurdle is going to be the weight and balance
>>64654612LOLNoob
>>64654626>>64655042Where did you see one anon?One of those things is definitely on my list for when I make my billions, not sure why, but I love them.
>>64654612the air force finally realized it's much cheaper to walk into textron and buy an off the shelf plane and strap missile pylons to it, same as the army is buying a bunch of chevy trucks for some army thing, idk.

I mean if you’re fighting low tech opponents like America has the past decades you might as well just use a Cessna instead of an F35 you probably save like 99.9999%
>>64655000You found the pic before I could, appreciated and checked.
>>64658742Seriously would if I had any kind of wealth. Who needs mcmansions in CA and shit like that, I want a fleet of maintained retro aircraft, and maybe an Elco 80 PT boat made out of titanium plate or something.
