Enjoy carrier operations? Pilot the Carrier Pigeon. Wings fold upward with VTOL to allow storage on crowded decks. Beware though, the plane has a fast stall speed. You're better off landing on land after leaving the carrier (hooks and cables when?!) If you MUST try a carrier landing, come in at minimal throttle to avoid stalling, keep your landing gear up, cut the throttle, and hit the deck as softly as possible to slide to a stop. It works well for getting into the air fast, and hitting first. Armed with 2 miniguns, 4 interceptors, and 4 inferoes. Improvements from 1.0: Replaced the clunky old rotators with the new hinges. Improved the tail for better control.
