Some fictional history:

In 2018, the USAF ordered a replacement aircraft for the aging F-16 Fighting Falcon. Boeing and Lockheed-Martin each submitted an aircraft, both serving the same roles as the F-16. Boeing's aircraft was chosen, so the aircraft was offially renamed. The aircraft seen here is in Polish Air Force colors and is loaded out for ground strike missions. The other configurations are: air supremacy fighter, COIN, reconnaissance, target drone, weapons test platform, bomber escort, and bomber. It seats a crew of one to two, depending on version, and has a top speed of around 550-570 miles per hour. VTOL up to deploy the air brakes. I will make a second version when the mobile update comes, so don't expect much until then.
