F-208 Arrow (XF-208A) (Mobile friendly!)

(This is a fictional aircraft) The F-208 (XF-208A) Arrow was designed in the early 1950s to answer the challenge of new soviet jet fighters. To answer this calling, the United States Air Force (USAF) developed several aircraft. This was just one of them. This plane is a single-seat, single-engine fighter/interceptor. It reaches speeds of around 500 miles per hour. This plane is quite manouverable for its' size and feels fun to fly. Take off is at around 200 miles per hour. Enjoy! (Credits to Exumer and SpiritusRaptor for the roundels!)

For this plane, I took inspiration mostly from the F-106 Delta Dart and the Bell X-1. I feel like it's a good combination between the two.
