An almost 1:1 scale Blue Angels F/A-18!
This plane is the first half of my 50k BLUE(Angels)(Thunder)BIRDS project. These 2 planes are definitely my favorite!

https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/TlvPGp/Thunderbirds-F-16C-Fighting-Falcon

The Blue Angels is the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron, with aviators from the Navy and Marines

Trim to use flaps

If anyone could get 4 or 5 of these planes flying in formation in SP, I'd love to see pictures!

When taking off, be very careful and keep her going straight. For some reason both my 50k planes suffer from slight physics bugs.

I hope you enjoy!

    Really cool. You should try experimenting with exhaust scale changed thrust ports with a blue color for detailed engines like this. My heinikel uses the technique as well as my EA-6B
