Introduction

I always liked the look of the Vought Pirate as an early jet aircraft, it was obviously of a time that aircraft designs were evolving quickly. I took this basic design and adapted it to now have a swing wing, re-heat and some other gadgets and gizmos.

Controls

AG1 = start the engine
AG2 = reheat
AG3 = arrestor hook
AG4 = drop tanks
AG5 = nav lights
AG6 = air brakes
VTOL up = flaps and slats
VTOL dn = swing wing back
