This aircraft from Big J Industries is used by the military as a dive bomber/attacker and is a reliable and rugged machine. It is cheap and easy to produce, and is popular with commanders as a reliable method of delivering ordinance. It has a good turning circle, but is rather slow, capable of only reaching about 380 mph at 2000 feet. It carries 3 250 pound bombs and 6 machine guns in the wings. It is set to phase the old A-2 out of service over the next few years.
