Auto Credit Based on zPagoda's F-2 ''Grey Bull'' - Navy

Backstory:
After fears of the USSR's MIG being better than the current aircraft, the United States Navy and Air Force sought a replacement. the company that was chosen to build the replacement was Lockheed Martin, known for building aircraft like P38 Lighting. Lockheed had to make a Jet fighter that went at least 600 mph, could do multiple roles if needed, for example attacker and fighter roles, and could land on an aircraft carrier. Lockheed Martin after lots of testing presented the F-2, nicknamed "Grey Bull" as the jet asked for. After more testing by the Navy and the Air Force, they found it sufficient for the tasks needed to be complete and adopted the aircraft in to the forces. Over 12 years, 3923 units were produced and shipped out to the forces, another 3347 units were produced and used by other countries in and out of NATO.

Controls:
Ag3-5 - eject payload

Tips:
This is not the best jet, but it has good qualities. The first tip would be to not try really tight turns. That's really the only tip that can be given.

If you find any improvements that could be made, please write it in the comments or improve it yourself.

Hope you enjoy flying my first ever self made jet fighter.
