F-16 Fighting Falcon
F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. The Fighting Falcon has key features including a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, and a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots.
I built her so that she can fly perfectly level (doesnt pitch up or down) when the gear and 'missles' are released. However she is pretty slow with a max cruising velocity of 422mph. I wanted to stay true to the overall look, so I didnt add extra engines.
As always, detachment #1 releases the gear and #2 releases the ordinance. You may have to lower your graphics settings if you are playing on a tablet/phone. Set terrain and water to low, shadow off, BUT KEEP GRAPHICS QUALITY AT MEDIUM OR HIGHER!!!
