the wingspan is longer then the plane and the chord is HUGE.

Why?

Could it have something to do with this?

Maybe the powers that be need one more airframe for whatever missions they have planned.

Oh, that thought had crossed my mind.

But I remain skeptical.

We pour how many billions of dollars into developing UAVs that can loiter for extended periods of time. Then we de-mothball an old Australian airframe so it can do the same thing.

Something doesn't add up.

My guess is too much money and too many people trying to get a piece of the action.

some things do require a hands on approach on the spot that cant be left up to a UAV.  they may require actual hands pushing buttons and dials which is why theyre using a 2 seat airframe instread of something like a U-2.
