HISTORY
The A-23 was designed in late 1938 in America by Ranger Aircraft Division (Fictional). This specific aircraft was built in early 1943 and is the "G" model. This aircraft participated in Attack missions in Korea, where it had a surprising advantage over jet fighters in its speed. The jets would often overshoot the aircraft, making it harder to take down. Heat-seeking missiles were also not very effective against this plane because they could barely see the exhaust. The A-23 was pulled out of frontline service in 1960, but its long range when equipped with drop-tanks and lifting capability made it useful as a transport plane. This model is currently in private ownership.
CONTROLS
AG1:
AG2: Autopilot
AG3;
AG4: Bombs Away!
AG5:
AG6: Landing Lights
AG7: Navigation Lights
Deactivate8: Fold Wings, Turn off engine.
LandingGear: open door
VTOL: Flaps
Trim: what do you think?
PILOT NOTES
The plane takes off with full flaps and trim at about 110kph (68mph).
Land with full flaps at about 90kph (55mph)
The aircraft is very robust and can take lots of damage, so don't worry if you get the landing a bit wrong.
The plane struggles to get very high and has a bit of autoroll, so turn on autopilot when flying in a straight line
OTHER
This plane was fun to make and is pretty fun to fly. It also has CalculateDrag = false on many parts, so it's pretty mobile friendly. I hope you have a fun time flying it!

@Puffin9173 I don't. it took me about 3 weeks
HOW DO U BUILD THIS KINDA STUFF SOOOO FAST! :000
@CrushburnHQ 'tis ok
@PINEAPPLZ Also sorry if i sounded mean, just trying to factualize the fiction :)
@PINEAPPLZ Early august bc I SUCK at deadlines
@ThisIsMyCreativeUsername hmm, Im not sure what the problem is then
@CrushburnHQ ok :(
also whens the phantom coming out?
"This aircraft participated in Attack missions in Korea, where it had a surprising advantage over jet fighters in its speed. The jets would often overshoot the aircraft, making it harder to take down. "
Elite pilots could easily negate this problem.
Making this slow guy useless.
@PINEAPPLZ it still spins out of control even with aircraft collisions off. I had it on high physics and tried other physics settings. On low, the rocket pod falls off, then the wing collapses and shakes violently. On medium, the wings moves and the aircraft rolls out of control.
@ThisIsMyCreativeUsername really? it didn't for me..
Maybe try changing the rocket pods to disableAircraftCollisions = true?
Firing the rocket pods makes the plane spin out of control
