Patriotic Flyer USAF

102k Kerbango  7.7 years ago

The Patriotic flyer was built at the dawn of the jet age, when the jets just were not efficient enough to do the job on their own, they called on the jet-thrust assisted propeller driven engine that were the missing link between propellers and jets.
Flown with normal controls Pitch, trim, roll and yaw.
When fully loaded with your bomb you will need to pull the trim down nearly all the way for level flight.
After delivery of the payload you will need to adjust the trim back up but still below center.
The USAF edition is armed with ten Boom-1000 pound bombs (more powerful than normal) also armed with eight experimental rapid fire tracer automatic- machine rifles. (Also called RAFTAMS)
Capable of takeoff and landing on sea or land with ease.
Camera 1 is the cockpit view, (which is the view), cockpit camera is for firing the RAFTAMS, every other camera angle is to enjoy the view.
