During a brief back in '90, Bell/Textron put on a dog and pony show for a group of Marines in Arlington, TX. During the slide show presentation they showed ideas for making it a multiple platform - think ISR, Refueling, Mini-Gunship, Electronic Warfare, etc...

Thanks for the post! I cannot remember all the info but didn't the F-15E Pilots in Lybia get rescued by a CSAR -22, and if so didn't one of them shoot some of the "good guys"?
