The new F-122 Escapist is a light fighter meant for surveillance operations and light attacks on a precise targets. Israel accepted it into service in June 7th 1971, it was equipped with the latest technologies that we're available to Israel at the time, broke many world records in the production line. The F-122 Escapist was the cheapest fighter aircraft ever produced in the 70s and was in such large numbers that there was 300,000 F-122 Escapists in the world. it could be found in every single country Allied or not, study or not. The F-122 had unique structural properties with the certain way the airframe is built, despite the material being fairly weak and cheap, the airframe was yet strong enough to hold 2x 250 lb bombs and 4 heat seeking missiles with its payload, yet it's very cheap. It was a great Contender to the F5 and it was fairly maneuverable, also featuring an ejection seat. I hope you all enjoyed this little story along with the aircraft, it has been a while since i put an ejection seat in an aircraft, sooo i made this. I also decided to go out of my comfort zone and build an Israel aircraft, I thought it would be better than making more American and Russain aircraft. Act 1 canopy, Act 2 ejection seat, Act 3 parachute, Act 4 radar, Act 5 nose cone/access, Act 6 drop tanks, and Act 7 is the refueling probe. Enjoy!
