"Blackout"

Bombers in Fairly Simple Fighters?!

That's right.

FSF is getting bombers, marked under the "FSF-BE" tag. The A-19A however is less of a bomber, and more of a heavy attacker. Armed with 500 lbs bombs and four cannons, it certainly delivers a heavy payload to its foes. It can maneuver fairly well, all things considered, but it's recommended not to fight enemy aircraft.

Trivia

-The A-19A will be the first plane in FSF-BE. I chose this tag because I didn't want to give everyone the trouble of having to type either FSF or FSB when trying to find the two, so I made "FSF-BE," or Fairly Simple Fighters: Bomber Edition
-The Blackout got its name because the first prototype flew too low and hit a power line on landing. Aside from the following blackout, there was virtually no damage, since no fire had started and the plane landed safely.
-This happened in the first place because the A-19 was supposed to be an interdictor (which are known for flying low), hence the "A" designation rather than B for bomber.
