An almost 1:1 scale Thunderbirds F-16C!
This plane is the second half of my 50k BLUE(Angels)(Thunder)BIRDS project. These 2 planes are definitely my favorite!

The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron ("Thunderbirds") is the air demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force (USAF).

Trim to use flaps

If anyone could get 4 or 5 of these planes flying in formation in SP, I'd love to see pictures!

She rolls to the left slightly when flying. For some reason both my 50k planes suffer from slight physics bugs.

I hope you enjoy!

    I've seen (and done the acrobatic thing when you fly as the passenger/co-pilot in their planes) these bad boys, they, are extremely loud!

    @VisableAce217 I keep forgetting. I'll try to remember, but of you remind me Friday that would be great. Also, about the b-2. I was originally planning to add that to the gear (The first few unlisted planes say "Spirit of Nebraska"). Unfortunately, the plane only flies because of an accidental physics glitch. Of you check, the CoM and CoL are way too far apart for the plane to be flyable realistically, but for some reason it flies. Adding any more parts makes the plane unflyable.
