This is a simple-ish aircraft I created over about 3 months on and off. It is the AF-18 Termite. This is a retrofit of the F-18, which was a Gen-1 fighter, modified to carry guided A2G weapons and A2A missiles for self-defense, and is was meant for ground attack. It replaced an internal cannon for a TV camera, so it could mount TV guided weapons. This is a relatively simple plane to fly, just know it is a bit underpowered, and the GBs aren't perfect, and they can fail. This was also my first plane I added a functional canopy, which I am quite happy with, and was surprised I did it myself
The aircraft that inspired this creation is the Hunter F-58, a hunter modified for ground attack.
Enjoy!
