Auto Credit Based on Rohan's Future of Flight Challenge! WINNERS ANOUNNCED

The F-99 jet project originally started as a response to "The Future of Flight" competition, but was placed aside for the pursuit of other projects. It was soon resumed, and finally developed. The "C" stands for compact, due to it's meagre size. The F-99 is quite controllable, and easy to use. It can take off from the U.S.S. Tiny well, but must balance out after such a short take-off. The '1' and '2' keys both fire the missiles under the wings, which fire very fast.
