Late second-generation naval jet fighter commonly reffered to as "The Last Gunfighter", due to being the last American fighter with cannon as the primary armament. Its other unique feature is its variable-incidence wing, which allows it to take off and land over short distances at low speeds. Armament for this replica consists of the 4 eponymous Colt Mk.12 20mm cannons, as well as a fairly typical loadout of 4 AIM-9 Sidewinders and 8 Mk. 82 500lb dumb bombs. controls are AG1 for electrical power(engine and rotators), AG2 for navigation lights, AG3 for landing lights, and AG4 for master safety.
