Default Re: Scratch one MC-130 (pictorial)

The Talon III's are actually in the makings from rumors around here. I believe the J's are going to be used for them. However the crew would be quite diffrent and there would be drastic structure changes. AFSOC would still require an engineer which of course the current J's dont have and Talons fly with an EWO as well, i dont think they would want to get rid of him/her either. The J would also need the upgraded countermeasures and TF/TA system plus talons are getting upgraded with the refueling pods for the cv-22 so i imagine they would want to throw that in as well, so the proposed idea of J's into AFSOC might take a while just due to budgeting but i think it will get there.
