Ok. I'm prepared to get some flak for this take. (Pardon the pun.)
The OV-10 was cool and a good platform.
But... wouldn't it make more sense to keep/re-produce the A-10? Drones are better and cheaper for the "O" part, and "light attack"? Seems like 7 barrels of destruction would be better.
Sure, the A-10's titanium tub is expensive, but pilot's aren't cheap either.
They've got at least one of those doing FAC for fire retardant drops in Cali. I was looking at where the drops were being made on Flightradar24 (got a friend who lives nearby) and saw an OV-10 orbitting the drop zones
