Chibi Warthog

Because everything old is new again, sixty years ago the USAF was looking for modern attack planes suitable for the counter-insurgency mission and developed one from a trainer. The result was the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, developed from the T-37 Tweet. 

I always loved the "Angry Tweet". The cutest thing about it was the 7.62mm Minigun in the nose. A friend who, being an infantryman, had a professional interest in ground support aircraft once said "They should have made it a Vulcan" which, of course, they couldn't because a 20mm Vulcan and its ammo drum would be nearly as big as the fuselage. (Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but still...)
