This not-so-pretty little thing is the closest I could get to replicating its real-life counterpart. The MFI-9B was intended as a military trainer for Sweden. Upon the failure of the sale, a Swedish mercenary, Count Carl Gustaf Ericsson von Rosen, bought five of them at a considerable discount, using them to aid the fledgling former nation of Biafra. These small aircraft proved their worth when the mercenaries attacked Nigerian Air Force MiG 17s and IL-28s on the ground, destroying several of each. She's slow, nose-heavy, and reluctant to pull up, but that's mostly due to my lack of skill. At any rate, I hope you enjoy!
