The YX-38 SwanDive is a never complete, experimental jet aircraft from Tigris in the late 1960's, as their first super sonic aircraft. This aircraft was lay dormant after testing purposes in the archipelago Islands of whats known as Bandit Airport. This expiriment was long forgotten about because many supersonic jets came before and after the creation of the YX-38 and The Plane was already Obsolete. Up until in 1999, when a aircraft technician visited the airport in regards of fixing a broken down TI-16, He saw this plane sitting dilapidated in a hangar, and over the course of 3 and a half years, it was back to being new. He was ready to fly this beast of an aircraft. Until, the night before flight, a drunken man wandered onto base and fired the plane up and took the jet. This Mans name is todd.
