The Ryan Fireball was a hybrid jet propellor aircraft designed in 1945, it was the us navys first jet aircraft but unfortunatly only 66 of this aircraft were ever made and equiped only one squadron, it was withdrawn from service in 1947 after structural issues made it impractical. This replica is actually a bit faster than the original but unfortuantly doesnt turn very well.

@Noman0rumeral thanks although personally I found the performance a bit lacklustre I spent about 2 hours trying to get that rear jet engine working XD right pain to do
Handles & looks great
