AF-18 "Tiger Shark"

The AF-18 is a fictional multi-role fighter designed by the SarnnoxCraft Company. It first entered service with the Jacomian People’s Air Force in the early months of 1943 and served in many different roles. Bomber escort, interceptor, and close air support just to name a few.

Upon service entry, pilots assigned to an AF-18 praised it for its stability in flight, as well as its ruggedness. Though it was much less maneuverable than the AF-17 and AF-16, It more than made up for it due to its vastly superior speed and diving characteristics. Being way faster than any Jacomian aircraft coming before it.
