Robin Military Industries R-27 "Pelican"

hello my fellow homo saipiens

This is a fighter aircraft that I took a week to make, and I am very proud of it :D

The RMI-27 is an air-superiority fighter aircraft made by Robin Aircraft Industries, put to paper in 1970 and produced from 1978 to 2018.

The RMI-27 was delayed by a few years due to veering off the runway, and control surface lock, resulting in the loss of 2 early prototypes.

The RMI-27 was publically released in the 1976 Wright Air Show. Once put out, the Ice Base Air Force put intrest in this aircraft and ordered 60 units.

The aircraft was quote on quote "ok" in serving its purpose, while also holding a mix of Air-To-Air and Air-To-Ground weapons, while also having a wing gun for good measure.

After years of production, the RMI-27 was cut fron production in 2018 after part demand became too much. 3 of the aircraft were donated to the Ice Base Air Museum, and the rest were made either training aircraft, scrapped, or were make air show capable.
