@Airbus747SP
So fast!
@ElectricVehicle There we go, that's all you need, Just write "The A-4 Skyhawk was a single seat, carrier capable, light attack and air to air fighter designed built by the Douglas Aircraft Company and later produced by McDonnell Douglas for the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps early in the 1950s." That should fix it
@Alta2809 You get me wrong, I just need to write air-to-air fighter
I know that but an airliner is a commercial aircraft, generally not used by the military and used to get passengers from the public from place to place. @ElectricVehicle
@Alta2809 E model
@ElectricVehicle Clicky and read the first few sentances on the aircraft itself it talks about what type of aircraft it is
It’s definitely not an airliner.@ElectricVehicle
@AerialFighterSnakes Do you think it's a fighter?
“A-4 Skyhawk is an air-to-ground jet airliner“ what the?
@Developer9001 Ok!, relax and wait!
thank you also @WSindustries

@Spitfire12 Hello neighbor!
It is just that not many people would think to use that camo in my opinion because New Zealand is a small country and I am surprised because I live in New Zealand @ElectricVehicle
@Spitfire12 Ya, so?
I am quite surprised that anyone would decide to use that camo @ElectricVehicle
@Spitfire12 Yas!
