PREMiERdrum Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 We knew it was coming, but it is coming SOON. After nearly getting pushed to MY23, Warthog will now be unveiled within the next few months as a MY22 option. Annual production is expected to be around 16,000 units. How soon will we see it? A handfull of Warthog units will be built at MAP in the very, very, very near term. Those of you up that way, keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks. ? 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Didn't ford mention we'd be getting a new green? Perhaps it's a nice olive drab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 75% sure we're getting Guard Green from F-Series, but I'd love to be surprised with Olive or Boxwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To all you Hog fans, Mass Air guard used to have them and they were based at Barnes Airport- a small field right along side Mass Pike west of Springfield. One day I saw two take off at same time, side by side. Quite a sight! Article in yesterday's WSJ about keeping B-52's in service until at least 2050 with all kinds of upgrades-new engines, instruments-all analog now-and new weapons systems. By then the oldest will have been in service 90 years! I guess airframes are the key. Get a feeling the Hogs will be in that same boat-they tried to kill them once and John McCain testified in congress in defense of the hog and told the opposition they basically were full of shit!

Quite a plane. That 30 MM gatling gun will chew up some T-72's for sure. 6" worth of armor with the Depleted Uranium projectile.
