big scaly firebreathing cats

Hey it'll be cool not going to lie you know so then people can learn to ride on them and on top of that you can put armor on them.

Hell if they are big enough you could just put machine guns on their armor!

hmm

interesting

I just like to think of this stuff because I'm a fantasy nerd.

A-5 Vigilante

One hell of a good looking aircraft

Yeah

Back in the day US carriers had A-3s, A-4s, A-5s, A-6s, F-8s, F-4s, Sh-3s and S-2s.

Now it's just F18s F35s and Seahawks and E2s

The early a5 Vigilantes were designated A3J

Yeah before the 1962 designation thing

The a5 was kinda a flop

Indeed

It was the ra-5 that was successful

Coulda put some missiles or bombs on the wings or sth

Or it coulda worked as a tanker as well

The a5 did have wing mounts

Not the ra5 because the ra5 was recon

Were they used for combat in Nam?

The armed ones I mean

Not the a5s

The ra5s had the worst shootdown ratio because the missions they would fly were so dangerous

Have you seen the anime Gate? There was this cool scene where a dragon was stabled in, well a stable, and a fighter jet comes and bombs the hell out of them with some Combat Controllers painting the target.

Isnt that the part where they bomb the senate?

Ye

Well the senate and the entire capitol lol

Sup dawg

hello

Anyone else join military?

gonna join the marine core

Headed for Army National Guard.

Oldest Branch in the military.

@ConstantColt058 tell us what your favorite flavor of crayon is when you come back from basic.

The core is the third most elite and phyisically demanding of the branches/units second to the SEALs

Nice.

I got mad respect for Marines though. Basic alone seems insanely difficult.
