Definitely a successor to the challenge

Thanks Feiwu and the SPCS for helping with this aircraft! Insignias used were made by ChiChiWerx.

The K-59 was a modified version of the F-59a, a supersonic naval strike fighter. The K-59 was used as an air to air refueling aircraft used aboard US Navy Carriers from 1964 to 1988. It carried two to four external fuel tanks, some of which contained a refueling drogue. In addition, it could still carry a small armament of missiles for self defense or support (and because y'all like pew pews).

Basically a cross between a F-101, F-8, and F-4. I may make the Fighter/attack and electronic warfare variants soon.

Please note: It has a slight auto roll to the right, and pitches up a bit. Land gently, I'm terrible at custom landing gear.

Ayy, I'm uploading before 2 am for once! It's been a bit hectic here and I kinda struggled to get this out before the deadline. I've got an hour to spare. I was joking when I said I'd procrastinate till the 10th but that's what actually happened.
