Auto Credit Based on Azsro's F-84 Thunderjet

Designed after WW2 for the navy. At the time many believed that jets were unsuitable as carrier aircraft. Unfortunately the Skysharks unusual turbine engines were plagued with problems and it never got much beyond the design phase. My version fortunately has no engine problems and flys pretty well.
