Wasn't this already tried, when Piper was trying to sell the PA-48 Enforcer to the USAF? AFAIK (Look! I have used one of those acronyms!) the performance of the Enforcer was really good, but the USAF people did not want to have anything to do with a propeller driven attack airplane (I'm oversimplifying the whole 'thang) and this meant that the airplane did not go beyond two examples built. Also, the PA-48 was turboprop, but I understand that P-51s were used during the development phase??
