Default while we're talking close air support

Remember the OV-10 Bronco? 2 turboprop engines, wide variety of combat loads (including an option of 4-5 paratroops snuggled into the back of the fuselage). Re-open the production lines and call back those that have been farmed out for fire-fighting duty. They've already done some fine work in the Middle East against ISIS.
