About the whole fixed wing thing and the Army. The Army does, in fact, operate several types of fixed wing aircraft, including the C-12, C-20, C-23, C-35, C-37 and RC-12N (elint). There is talk of the Army buying a new intra-theater airlifter, like the C-130. In addition, when there was all that hullabaloo about the USAF retiring the A-10s, the Army started putting some suggestions into Congress that maybe they should get the A-10s as they are retired from the USAF. Those of us in the AF of course hope that never happens - it is already hard enough working with USN/USMC combat aircraft in joint environments. And at least they are at least decently educated. Wait until some neanderthal WO1 in an Army A-10 destroys a whole column of Marines on accident during the next war. ;-) Note: Sarcasm used heavily in above statement.
