VTOL for bomb bay. AG-1 and 2 for external bombs.

The Martin B-57 Canberra is an American-built, twinjet tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft that entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1953. The B-57 is a license-built version of the British English Electric Canberra manufactured by the Glenn L. Martin Company. Initial Martin-build models were highly similar to their British-built counterparts; Martin later modified the design to incorporate larger quantities of US-sourced components and produced the aircraft in several different variants.

    Good aircraft and quite a nice flier.
    Tiny issue noticed: low-speed handling is pretty poor. Good descent rate for landing (5 degree mode angle @ 130 lands marvellously) however it gets to be a bit of a handful due to sluggish handling.

    May just be game physics however. Nice job!
