Attacking!

Author's note: Experimenting with custom thumbnails. Really not cool so far, because it's a pain to set up propperly and then you get the god awful orthographic view. How does that thumbnail look?

Description: The A-5C "Boar" is an american subsonic attacker aircraft designed to be cheap and for export. It features a two seater cockpit, is capable of aerial refueling and can carry a good payload.

Development: During the late 1970s, the US began a weapons export program, to supply allies with equipment, and still profit. The A-5A "Boar" is one of the results of said program. Many countries bought A-5A, including Brazil, the UBRS, Argentina, Canada, Mexico and others. Modernization of A-5 Platform would be free, according to the USAF and the purchase agreement. With that, in 1986, came the A-5C, the current version. The A-5 aircraft, was the base for the UBRS' Dover Jump Jet.

AG4 and AG5 to drop Camera Pods.

Tip:

To land, have as shallow of an angle as possible, and touch down at a slow speed. Not doing that will glitch out the suspension and send you to the 36th dimension.
