[RD] General Dynamics F-111D Aardvark
Demo HERE
In the 1960s, the USAF and USN wanted a set of aircraft that could intercept and bomb. The 2 main proposals, both swing-wing aircraft, were the F-14 and F-111. Both were reviewed and evaluated. The USAF chose the F-111 and the USN chose the F-14. The Aardvark's swing-wing system helped it to fly at low and high speeds. General Dynamics decided to design it with a side-by-side pilot configuration. The F-111D Aardvark could bomb with precision at 100-60,000 feet. The Aardvark would become a highly successful, supersonic, tactical fighter-bomber. Read More...
The payload is Sidewinder ×2, UGBS ×24, and UGBL ×2 (internal). The throttle needs to be higher than 95% for afterburner. The controls are the same as the previous version.

@Maverick09 Aight, nice
@TheUltimatePlaneLover correct!
@Maverick09 Ah, ok.
So, RD is short for ReinMcDeer, but the M got cut off so it's just RD, yes?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover great question. RD is a style of aircraft. This style, RD, is based off builds created by @ReinMcDeer (RD). Basically they are simple but detailed. What I do is add afterburners, cockpits, and other details. My series is called RD Afterburners. It is based of @WHNineTripleOne series RD Cockpits. The links will give you more information about both collections. My buddy, @OkaNieba also builds mostly in RD Style.
Out of curiosity, what does RD stand for?
The Roll Is WAY Too Sensitive…
