I wonder what else it can carry besides Hellfire.


Nice, finally!

No hub-center cannon though

All kidding aside, I wonder if a cannon could be mounted down the
road?


A belly turret like the one on the OV-10D would be nice, then you
could
do normal strafing or just swivel it to the side and orbit the target
like a mini-
AC-130.

I wonder what all that passenger space in the back is used for when
it's
flying a COIN mission?
