Does Vought designed and manufactured aircraft circumvent the whole Northrop-Grumman issue? Apparantly N-G bought Vought in 1994. However in 2000 The Carlyle Group bought Vought from N-G.

If there is no N-G issues the Vought OS2U Kingfisher would be a cool edition to fill the gap of the lack of an western allied floatplane.
