Planex B-5 Light Bomber

101k Wallaby  8.7 years ago

The Planex B-5 Light Bomber went into U.S.A.F. and R.A.F. service in early 2016. I was seen as heavy and costly for the U.S.A.F. so they continued with the B-52 program up into the 2050's. The R.A.F. wanted to see what the B-5 can do, so they kept the plane. The B-5 proved very inneficient to get the job done, as well as not very manuverable and very slow. The B-5 ended service altogether in mid 2026, in which makes the B-5 a service plane for one decade.
