AND it's getting another upgrade! It's getting better computers, Link 16 (that most all other aircraft have to send secure info), the ability to use the Small Diameter Bomb and other weapons.

It has that nice big gun that fires hundreds of small diameter bombs per second... flippin’ small diameter bombs... thought process from the folks of the last administration... :headslap:

Interior of the search light is a silver mirror finish on the reflector portion and black or OD on the surrounding area
