Yes, it is another of my wacky rear facing double prop planes. This experimental bomber is fully prop powered in real life, with the option of jet engines to be installed under the wings, which is in this model. It is very manuverable in the game due to the funny design and CoM. For landing gear press 1 and slide down to retract, and back to put them down... Press 6 to jettison the jet pods, not sure if this could be done in real life though... This is one entry into the cold war challenge @thedocholiday (Sorry that i cant add it as a successor, it is at this time everyone dislikes their ipads!)
