BACK STORY:
Nordan NA-2 Swallow, first flown in early 1935.
When the PAF saw Nordan's first design, the NA-1 White Bliss, they liked it's efficiency, small size, and nimbleness. PAF asked Nordan to build them a fighter variant of the White Bliss for further analysis. Since the White Bliss was a heavily watered down airplane with simplicity and speed in mind, for the fighter variant, the Swallow, Nordan added much more to the aircraft such as lights, wing-sand paper, foot steps, improved cockpit layout, more durable propeller with a more powerful engine, and they added a radio. The landing gear was reinforced, and some parts of the design were replaced from wood to metal for extra strength. The PAF was pleased with the design, and awarded Nordan a contract to build Pavelania's first monoplane fighter. The Swallow became very successful as a nimble dogfighter with it's accurate .50 cal M2 Browning guns layout. The Swallow replaced the P1C Eagle and was used as a dogfighter, base defense fighter, and a patrol fighter. It was incredibly easy to not only fly but learn to fly, and was loved by many new pilots. The Swallow also served as a fighter-trainer near the end of it's service.
Enjoy and happy flying!

@Treadmill103
Thank you Treadmill103!
Yeah that was just a plane, why would someone even make an alt just to argue. I dont know what is wrong with this community @JohnnyBoythePilot
@QingyuZhou
Obviously. He probably Made it so he can argue politics without the threat of someone reporting him and banning his man account for his stupid behavior.
Yeah that dumbass just deleted his account, so I'm very sure that is an alt account. @JohnnyBoythePilot
@QingyuZhou
Yea that Chuckcon guy. Pretty ridiculous a virtual Boeing 757 triggered so many people.
Np!
Actually I just saw an alt account come to my 757 just to argue...
