This aircraft may look familiar if you have Gunkanmarch's excellent aircraft carrier, the CVN-71. It is, in fact, one of the aircraft from the deck made flyable and as such all credit goes to Gunkanmarch for the initial creation of the airplane. I just tweaked it a bit to make it fly. Read post below for more info.

    As noted in the description, this jet is from the deck of the CVN-71.
    I got it by accident while I was clearing the deck of the CVN-71 to make it load faster on my PC and decided to make it fly, if I could.
    Things done;
    overhauled engines
    straightened wings
    flattened out a few bumps
    replaced static landing gear with fully operational gear.
    Repaired wing cannons
    Added Interceptor missiles.
    Apart from those things, this aircraft is as I found it.
    I hold no claim on this aircraft.
    Now a tag for @gunkanmarch.
    Did I miss acknowledgements for anyone? If so, who?
