F-72A Bandit

345 Osprey2008  4 months ago

The legendary F-72A Bandit is a converted Air Superiority/Multi role fighter developed as a way to combat the ever increasing danger of the skies, with new technologies spreading out across the deck, the Ospretanian Air Force needed a true Multi Role fighter, so it converted its aging F-72F’s into F-72A variants. Also known as the F/A-72E to those more fluent in aircraft lingo. The aircraft is optimized to be as sleek and as aerodynamic as possible, allowing for much higher speeds, and a 17+ G turn sustained with no weapons and low fuel. The aircraft has 4 means of air to air armament, that being 2 Aim-11 Valkyries and 2 Aim-119 Bear(s) and for dispensing counter measures, it features an automatic flare dump system. Be careful however! As they run out fast. Only around 45+ flares in each pod. This aircraft took me a LONG time to make and develop. So please, without further ado. Enjoy my personal magnum opus. The F-72A BANDIT!!! Sincerely, Lt Osprey.
