I'M BACk!!!! yay! so.... this plane isn't that good, but it flies.... sort of. bell inc. has made a new prototype of support class millitary disigns. this model is focussed on supporting ground troops and close range air to air combat. it got the nickname suicidal plane, cause of the bright colours for the disraction of enemy troops. it was made in 1932, but never flew cause of WWII. it is now the base model for the new F-35. (the netherlands finally heve them!!!!!) hope you enjoy!
