Northwind FL-62 Aphid ll A

4,011 aerobeeter  17 days ago

A further development of the original, the Aphid II was a 2nd generation jet fighter that was aimed toward the cost effective light multi-role market for smaller forces. It lacked medium range AAMs due to the cost and complexity of them and was a rather nimble aircraft with speed that left more to be desired. It would live in infamy after Krakabloan insurgents managed to acquire a number these due to an angry Northwind employee that was laid off leaking classified intel regarding the transport of them. These events would be recreated in the hit film "Slop Gun". Activation Groups: 1 to jettison fuel tank, 2 to jettison Bat Anti Radiation Missiles, 3 to jettison Metra IR missiles. VTOL for flaps and wing fold, trim is trim
