Name a more iconic duo than Advanced aerospace projects and political cancellations.
Curious Droid creates very good and well researched content imo. Nice to see him get some exposure here.

Some Bronco's fuselage leftover?
I don't agree that the AH-56 could fill the role of the A-10 as a tank buster.
It clearly would have been superb in the CAS role but let's not pretend it would be able to mop up Soviet tanks at the Fulga gap like the A-10 could have.
