Hey all, I was researching obscure light attack aircraft on Wikipedia and came across a familiar friend, the Strikemaster. One thing that leapt out to me is the mention of there being pairs of 50 cal gunpods available. The source is a 2023 book. The book is not available in my library system (it seems to be available in quite a few states though). Anyone living in one of those states (or willing to pay 25 bucks for the book) willing to check this out and post it as a source here?
If we can get a decent source on this, it would be a pretty neat buff for the Strikemaster. It seems likely they would be able to add these gunpods, as they seem to want it to represent the UK version despite it’s NZ livery.
