SF-65 Growler

209 NorthKoreaBall  5 months ago

The SF-65 Growler is a potent, second-generation twin-engine interceptor, designed to counter the Soviet bomber threat in 1956.

As a member of the Royal Snow Air Force, this specific aircraft features Centaur 12’s camouflage, which served at Ostkrad Air Force Station in Aurelia province from 1957 to 1969.

The Growler’s strong airframe, powerful engines, and advanced avionics make high speed intercepts easier, offering a better defense against enemy bombers.

The Growler as a whole served from 1956 until 1973 in the Royal Snow Air Force’s Interception and Home Defense Command (IHDC) in which it was replaced by the F-4E Phantom II. This example shows the most common load comprising of 2 Sidewinders and Sparrows with a single M43 drop tank.

    If you don’t like the master arm releasing the fuel tank then move the fuel tank pylon to AG7, some free switches are on the bottom left of the cockpit that are binded to AG1 for no reason.
