It's as ugly as sin and has the performance of a particularly obese bovine. Heck, the design makes a virtue of its ability to soak up ground fire because it can't dodge!
Give me something sleek like a YF-23 or a Su-27 any day! 8-)

" Wheels up, hard stick landing after being hit by a SAM. Everyone said it couldn't be done, including the Flight Manual's and Tech Orders... pilot Capt Rich Biley proved'm wrong on 22 Feb 1991! He brought 79-0181 in at King Khalid Military City (KKMC), Forward Operating Location (FOL) 1 where the CLSS team stripped it of parts, some send to King Fahd International Airport (KFIA), Main Operating Base (MOB) for use on other birds, and then buried it in the desert. Capt Biley was unhurt during the crash."
Direct hit from an SA-9
Susan Biley now flies Comair jets.

EDIT:
How much would a zero-interest loan really help someone like May? She'd still have the stigma of a conviction and still face prejudice against robots. She'd then be faced with making payments on a not-cheap chassis out of minimum wage or not much better.
At least it would solve the credit rating problem and free her from the ball and chain of end-of-life repairs.

The analogous statement from an optimistic meatperson would be, "At least I have my health." So, yeah, there's an equivalent real/human world start over point.
Now, getting May to an epiphany such that she'd take that kind of optimistic view of the world is going to require some writing on Jeph's part.
Wingy:
This may have been covered earlier, if so please direct me.
The longer we see May interact with people, the less she seems to care about her body. See 4030 when she and the tech agree about being a fighter jet and Roko has to tell them to focus. In fact, May seems to be the only AI with a willingness to ditch her current form for some other form. Momo and Winslow upgrading aren't really good examples because they had the option to pick a new body; it took Winslow two tries to get one he liked. All of which leads me to wonder: What was May's original form? Anything canonical that's not in-story available?
Wingy:
And another warthog story with similar ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUhDvcGXgs
I'm sure May is more interested in something like this: https://www.military.com/video/boeing-unveils-unmanned-fighter-drone
