(needs beta for glass, but can still be downloaded without it, just remember to reconnect the magnet)

Ah yes another Fish-cat, great. It's part of a challenge, pretty much expected. Slightly """"""realistic"""""" tho with slightly exaggerated acceleration and manueverability. Anyways, enjoy or..........
You'll enter a flat spin because of jet wash

SF-24, Defender of the fleet

The SF-24D is the 2 seater multirole fighter variant of the SF-24C. It has incorporated the improvements and tweaks of the C variant from the A. It has a slightly longer fuselage to accommodate the copilot. The SF-24 was developed from the SFX-24 prototype, and was created to replace the aging SF-12 "sky raiders". It is still active and a unit costs for about 820,000$.

Designer notes:

Never go slow motion while stationary and attached to the catapult, or you will go boom.
At a certain Altidude wings and engines will become less effective.
Not so mobile friendly
Very slight but unnoticeable autoroll
Exaggerated acceleration and manueverability
Cockpit view is shaky and canopy will move on high G manuever and is basically a STOL plane
