FI-59I Starlight

345 Osprey2008  7 months ago

The FI-59I Starlight is a Fighter-Interceptor designed for the purpose of being a small nimble distraction in enemy airspace, it has 6 hardpoints for tossing missiles through a dense and cluttered airspace. It is not particulary used as a fighter, however it has most defenitely proven itself in that reguard. It was granted the nickname “starlight” because from a top-down view, it appears as a star. The F-58 Night Ryders biggest problem was its inability to recover from stalls, and how common Flat Spins were in that aircraft. However in this dazzling beauty, it is IMPOSSIBLE to crash from a stall, the two monstrous engines provide so much thrust, even putting them to 60% throttle can make you recover from any failed maneuver. The aircraft is twin engine, single seat, fighter interceptor, air dominance capable star winged fighter. Truly a beauty
