Commuter Planes of Death Join Iraqi Air Force

The story is about how the Iraqi air force is hanging Hellfire missiles on Cessna Caravan utility aircraft.

In the larger counter-insurgency environment, this might actually be a superior product to something like an F-16, as it is lower and slower, and thus better able to see the target.

The US should be deploying something like a militarized turboprop trainer to theater.
