Beat me to it. I have no illusions about the level of effort to bring to fruition required by the extensive mods of this bird...but it's an interesting thing to consider. In the balance it may be a better solution than taking a small reconnaissance platform that is still in its early stages, yet as opportunely mentioned a couple of posts above already totally boxed in as far as dimensions and power are concerned.When Ed Heinemann negotiated the contract for the A-4, he and the Navy agreed that any pound of extraneous fixed equipment the Navy decided to add was going to be taken out of fuel for the mission. This was way to avoid late-in-the-game requirement creep. It worked pretty well, i think.
