F-8 Knife fight

Like the real aircraft, this plane excels in high-speed, gun-only, and dogfights.

On the other hand, it is more like the irl F-16 in terms of high speed turning performance.

The new wing shape is somewhere between a trapezoidal and delta wing.

Because I moved the new wings elsewhere on the plane, the variable incidence wing thing is now the new canard flap thing~~~

I got inspiration from my favourite aircraft, my beloved 💕YF-23💕.

Instructions are in-game. No flaps, unfortunately, just the weird canard flap thing that may or may not help with landing.
