Not far off the bead Andy. Since DPS has armed boats patrolling up & down the Rio Grande, armed with, M-60's(I believe), and Barrett .50's, why not a few outdated, obsolete Cobra's(that still have their main & secondary armaments) in their arsenal as well? Makes sense to me.

Ooooo!

I'd love to see an A-10 in DPS livery.

We could even put 'Don't Mess With Texas' on the underside of the wings. :txflag:

Warthogs are cool. Makes me want to strap on a UHF Radio and go to work...

B-52 arc-light mission would work. Each B-52 carry's 102 Mk-82 500 lb bombs.

A-10's are great, but AC-130H's are incredible. Jump to 1:51 and watch.
