FJC AS-1 "Mourning Dove"
"Welcome back. Shall we continue where we left off?"
FJC Welcomes your return to our factory.
In celebration of your return, we release a new aircraft to the public.
Information
the AS-1 was an aircraft built specifically to act as a light multirole trainer aircraft and works very well as such, but can also act as a short range fighter or defense aircraft when needed. this aircraft is great for VR flight training as it demonstrates the basics of a mildly unstable, medium speed airframe. While it is not meant to see combat, it is quite capable in combat situations, despite it's short range under full power.
