The P-80 Shooting Star was the first ever jet aircraft to enter service with the USAF.

This SP version jet was intended with looks as the basis, but it flies really well too.

Long duration flight, and high maneuverability(minus pitch) make this a joy to fly. And it actually meets the speed of the real one, and a bit more at high altitudes. This took a long time to balance, so I hope you like it!
