credits and stuff

Hud comes from here

Landing gears are not my strong point

I had the amazing chance to see many in person during independence day parades and in a museum. My dream is to join the air academy and fly one.

2 months of absence, almost 3 unfinished aircraft I most likely never release. I still finished all of the JJK anime :P . Did my preparatory school exams too so yeah my excuse is that I was studying (I wasn't).
