Introduction:
Developed in 1976 by Mercury Aircraft Corporation for the Republic of Cotheria, the F-24 Challenger is a multirole aircraft capable of preforming tasks ranging from aerial warfare to close air support. It has seen action in the Cotherian Invasion of Morocco and the Caribbean theater.

Boasting 7 hardpoints, the F-24 is able to carry a range of weapons ranging from air to air missiles to dumb bombs. The aircraft is also equipped with advanced avionics and technology that allows it to deal with modern threats.

Thanks for flying!

Final Notes:
While you do have 8 minutes of in game fuel, you don't need to fly around at max throttle. 50% will be okay for cruising.

Like with real life, the F-24 can only carry so many rounds. Be careful to not waste all your rounds on a single target as can use them all up in a few seconds.

I had a lot of fun making the F-24 and hope you guys enjoyed it as well. And as always, have a great day and night, the choice is yours.
