Main Description:
This is the Midnight Bomber. It's a stealthy, fast aircraft that blends right into the night. It's also ready to provide ground support. It's not just a cool looking plane, it's also a tank! It has transforming abilities to change into one or the other in just a few seconds. It has equipped a set of laser guns, which will devastate any enemy that crosses its path. Rumors have been told, that it once sank an entire aircraft carrier in one blow of this powerful laser gun. So what are you waiting for? Bring the fight to your enemies with the new Midnight Bomber! Have fun, enjoy, and remember to always fly safe!

About The Project:
I want to thank DavstrWrexham so much for allowing me to edit his craft. It's definitely unique and I've never seen anything like it before. He's also been quite patient with me as I've ran into some problems along the way, with the craft. It's probably been one of my most complicated projects yet. The craft itself is very complex and there is a lot of moving parts. I can't say that it's quite perfect yet, but it's probably about as good as I can get it for now. I do plan on doing more to it in the future, if possible. I do have some other ideas, but that will be a whole nother project in itself. By the way, definitely go check out DavstrWrexham. He does a whole bunch of other awesome transformation stuff like this. So if you like what you see here, you'll definitely want to follow DavstrWrexham. Thanks everyone! Hope you guys enjoy, and as always, fly safe!

@TUNDERTEAM
Thanks for Bronze
@FLYGUY101 Hey, if you are interested, I finally have a real tank; plus more, of course

@DavstrWrexham
👍
@FLYGUY101 Cool, that will help for sure.
@DavstrWrexham
Hey, I just wanted to teach you this cool trick.
If you want to create a clickable link, here's what you do...
In order for it to work, it has to be in the exact same format that you see here:
[Add Name](www.add_url_here.com)Now, if you wanted to make your link clickable, you would put it in that same format, so it would look like this:
[Jump Ship Explorer](https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/X8ecq4/Jump-Ship-Explorer)So now in the end, you should wind up with this, which is a clickable link:
Jump Ship Explorer
Hopefully that will help you out! 👍
@FLYGUY101 You will love this one. It is one of my best in terms of abilities.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/X8ecq4/Jump-Ship-Explorer
@FLYGUY101 Okay.
@DavstrWrexham
Alright! I'm looking forward to it! You can leave me a link here whenever you're ready! 👍
@FLYGUY101 As I said, I have a really big project that I'm planning you might be able to help with at some point. All I'll say for now is that it will be able to split into two parts and transform.
@DavstrWrexham
Is there anything else I can do for you?
@FLYGUY101 I am quite happy with it. As you say, there is room for improvement, but it wasn't one of my best to begin with.
@DavstrWrexham
Okay, final question...
Are you happy with the results?
Or did you expect better?
Be honest now...
@FLYGUY101 Yep, looks really good at night.
@DavstrWrexham
Yeah... Like I said, it's not perfect, but it's pretty good! Did you fly it at night at all?
Wow, you certainly have got it more agile. It does start to shake at full speed, though
