The hawk fighter is one of my smoothest-flying creations. I hope you like it!
Originally intended for racing, the hawk can easily go supersonic in seconds, and can turn smooth as butter. The experimental stop-and-go turning system allows the hawk to turn very quickly and smooth out just as fast. With 4 missiles, and 2 guns, it’s not defenseless either. Plus, with the equipped smoke trails, it can double as a stunt plane.
Controls:
Smoke trail is in air to ground, everything else is normal controls
Warning:
Make sure you’re moving at least 150 mph before attempting to pitch, otherwise the stop-and-go turning will lift the plane up as a vtol, causing it to crash.

@TheReturningHound Try pitching without thrust. The vtol engines help a lot. Also, the point is so that if you are trying not to hit something, it gets you out of there. Plus, you start moving where you want to go quicker.
Personally, I wouldn't call it a high-agility fighter. My Mirage F1 has a much higher turn rate and it's not meant to be a super-agile jet. If anything, your VTOL nozzles that turn 90 degrees are hurting, not helping, your manoeuvrability. The extreme angle of deflection makes them both slow down the plane, and provide thrust perpendicular to the direction where you wanna turn, thus mucking it all up.
It's not really aerodynamically feasible, but eh, we're in SimplePlanes.
Next time, try making your rear elevators (tail) WAY smaller and make them fully moving. Also, the rockets on the vertical stabilizer triggers me.
