I got to take one for a spin around the pattern a couple of times. Performance is incredible. They can now take off from places they can't land in, unlike the classic which is the other way around.

That said, they're still working the kinks out in the tactical arena. I'll be curious to see how AFSOC fares once they actually start modifying the MC-J for their missions...but they're adding the Nav (nee CSO) back in!
