Liberty F-89B Riptide

1,654 WacoTaco  5.6 years ago

The F-89B is a superior version of the original F-89 that has been modified for aircraft carrier operations. This one remains functionally the same in many ways. However some of the new features include: better lights, moving control surfaces, flaps, folding wingtips, a smoother nose and cockpit section, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW? A TAILHOOK (activated with AG7). I was pumped when I heard the beta with helicopters and tailhooks came out, so I'm having a blast with this. Hope you enjoy.
