  My final aircraft for now…

The Nalvistia Aircraft Corporation (NavAct) E-1A Scanner is a medium-sized C4ISTAREW (ISTAR and Electronic Warfare capabilities) aircraft developed by the Confederal Air Force in the 1990s. The Scanner was mainly developed as a triple purpose airborne early warning, ISR, and electronic warfare aircraft that could also handle short runways. When it was put in service in 1995, these aircraft phased out the older EA-3B Skywarriors, and the EH-3B Sea Kings (AEW versions of the SH-3 Sea Kings). NavAct also created a special versions of the Scanners, designated as the DE-1A and the NE-1A respectively, for use as a drone control aircraft (former designation) and a range control and instrumentation aircraft (latter designation).

So… why the last aircraft, Haze?

To be honest, I kinda lost motivation for SimplePlanes as a whole. I haven’t been having that same energy for modifying aircraft for my universe and just feel… burnt out to say the least. High school also has taken a toll on my free time with studying, projects, homework, and JROTC. I won’t be leaving this community though, just very less active on the site. It has been a pleasure sharing my love of aircraft alongside my universe that I’ve created. I started when I was underage (as you can tell with my older “builds”) and now this account grew into this, almost 4.5 years of ideas and changes. Now, I need to focus on my education and goals of becoming a NOAA Hurricane Hunter. It’s been a pleasure being in this community and thanks for having me here.
