A-25 trainer fueling plane
This air craft was designed at the end of world war two to be the first fueling plane in America. It also had one of the first jet exhast system, and flew at an averafe speed of two hundred miles per hour. Sadley it was only flown once as a test before the war ended. But as the Vietnam war started more jet engined aircraft were used, but these aircraft weren’t as fuel efficient as the normal propelled aircraft so they had shorter flying distances. So as this happened, America decided to turn back to in air fueling aircraft. But to there suprize as they were being built and tested, even the best of pilots couldn’t fly them correctly. So they decided that a trainer fueling plane was needed. The A 25 was brought up multiple times but declined most of those times, until they decided that it wasn’t up to them to make that decision but the pilots. So as the plane went airborne; the pilots caught onto the fueling plane concept extremely fast. So that was it, the new trainer plane was the A 25 Fueling Plane. It was then installed with a heavy gun at the front to also work as a heavy fighter trainer. There were 4 rooms on-board, wich consists of, a cockpit, a communications room, a engineering room, and a resting room. So in the end if this air craft was never built, the fueling plane wouldn’t be like it would be today.
Act 1 and throttle for engine
Act 3 for gears
Act 4 for fuel rod (up just a very tiny bit)
Here is a challenge, try landing it on the uss Beast, I managed it
