Brief history

Controls
1=Nav Lights
2=Finger airbrakes(they're actually called that)
3=Main airbrakes
4=Bomb bay doors
5=Jettison all 750 lb bombs at once
G=LandingGear+LandingLights
VTOL=Flaps
Armament
9x 500 lb bombs
4x 750 lb bombs
4x wing guns
If you were wondering why this aircraft lacks some exterior detail as I usually add, it's because the part count is already higher than I wanted to begin with. If it weren't for part count, I would have added some more exterior detail. But I hope you enjoy anyway!

Sweet!@KnightOfRen
I'll add you to it! @Hedero
Sure. @KnightOfRen
Do you want to join the Knights of Cobrahuey? Its my company. @Hedero
Yeah now that I look back on it, I definitely see how I could've decreased part count.@FairFireFight
Thanks bro!@Alta2809
Congrats on 50k! @Hedero
@Hedero it flies very nicely , how ever you could've saved alot on parts by making the finger airbrakes connected to each other and be extended by one piston only rather than a piston for ever finger.
Ah ok. Thanks!@FairFireFight
nice , use gloss on cockpit glass next time though.
Oh yeah for the challenge.@CRJ900Pilot
