This is not a good omen......private companies should not be allowed to own combat capable aircraft.

One step closer to a privately owned armed air force.

How many are they buying? If it's just one, it could be for some convoy security work in Iraq.

They bought one, it is for training and it is unarmed.

Yes of course for "training"

It's for training. They sell combat capable aircraft to private individuals, BTW.

I think they need a special license to purchase though.....not sure.

mercanaries with a training plane, ok.

cool....

It may be unarmed now, but a dollar to a dime says it will be quickly "re-armed"..........

Good shtuff!

Shades of the AVG.

"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possesion and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"

- Patrick Henry

AWSOME!!!! I hope they get a whole squadron of these.

Maybe they should get around 500 of the training planes.

I wonder if I got my fixed wing annotation and about 200 hours if they would let me fly one of these... probably not being an army rotorhead... but then again

C'mon, if you can fly a helo, then fixed wing should be no problem.....just remember it doesn't fly too well below 100kts

Hey Blackwater will need some pilots, doctor up a bunch of bogus flight experience and tell 'em you want to "kill" they'll hire ya.
