The F30A "Desert Strider" is an air superiority (with some limited ground attack capabilities depending on loadout) fighter designed to replace the F17s and FA17Xs of the USAF. Carries 4 LRAAMS, 1 minigun and 2 MGPs in this particular loadout.

Development: Developed by Lockheed Martin at an unknown time period, the F30A was originaly called XF321 "Designator", but that changed after the F121 Wolfhound rolled out of the production lines for the US Navy. The F30A is succesful in all ways, and its cheaper than a F15C Eagle.

Controls: Standard plane controls.
VTOL for flaps.
AG1 for hook.
