Auto Credit Based on RedHawk's f16 fighting falcon

Based on RedHawk's F-16.
AG1 - Activates thrust vectoring.

The F-16 VISTA testbed aircraft incorporated a multi-axis thrust vectoring (MATV) engine nozzle that provides for more active control of the aircraft in a post-stall situation. The resulting aircraft is supermaneuverable, retaining pitch and yaw control at angles of attack beyond which the traditional control surfaces cannot change attitude.
