🎧 In this SOFcast Brief, host Matt Parrish sits down with Maj. John Bendokas from Air Force Special Operations Command to break down the newest addition to the AFSOC arsenal — the OA-1K Skyraider II.
Born from hard-earned lessons in places like Tongo Tongo and designed to support geographically isolated SOF teams, the OA-1K is a modular, cost-effective platform built for armed ISR, precision strike, and close air support — especially in austere environments.
From collapsing the traditional “air stack” into a single, multi-role aircraft to landing on rough terrain with just a small team, the Skyraider II is purpose-built for irregular warfare. Maj. Bendokas explains how AFSOC is fielding this platform, training the next generation of aircrew, and thinking differently to meet the complex demands of tomorrow’s fight.
Whether you’re boots on the ground or tracking strategic shifts in SOF aviation, this one’s worth your time.
The future of Armed Overwatch is here. Listen now.
