We’ve entered a new era of aircraft modularity. To stay competitive in the ever evolving landscape of modern warfare, Air Force Special Operations Command has accepted the first missionized aircraft of it’s kind, the Skyraider II.
“The Skyraider II can adapt capabilities for required mission sets be it close air support, precision strike, or armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Its flexibility ensures AFSOC can meet the needs set forth by the Secretary of Defense and President.”
