More in line with the OP's suggestion though, I can see mossy pilots maybe upgrading their birds to have positions for soldiers to hitch onto for covert aerial insertions. Would basically cover the same role with no need to completely model and texture a whole new aircraft.
This could be done through forsaking the transport hard-points and installing guns on the hard-points. Modular capabilities are really something they could use incorporated in the cert tree. Allow specific modular capabilities with deeper cert abilities.
