This is the jet fighter that changed everything for the US airforce. One very amazing aircraft.

This model has missiles that fly relatively straight. Top speed around 700 mph, very agile however keep it aorund 400 mph for extreme turns.

The nose of this jet fighter is very distinctive and proved difficult to replicate. Hopefully SimplePlanes will provide a few new shapes in later releases.

This took hours of tweaking to get it to fly right without breaking up. Optimum power is around 50% or less.

Firing missiles - their speed seem to depend on the speed of the aircraft when they are fired. At 100% they will fly high. At around 50% speed they fly relatively straight, however downward. Fire them at the mountains and watch them explode!

Enjoy.

    @AndrewGarrison Andrew, can you please advise what to do - my OSX computer crashed and when I opened SimplePlanes again it said there was a problem with the file and that it was backing it uo. I list all my planes! Any idea what to do and where the file is located? SR

    @AndrewGarrison I think a few more shapes that are around completing edges and corners would be very useful. For example a half block, and a more elongated rounded corner. Just thoughts really, and it would probably need some proper analysis. Thanks for aksing! SR

    Oops^^ Anyways, this is excellent! I love the jet, and I appreciate how much time you've put into making this! I've also been trying to perfect on-board missiles for a long time now, and this has been immensely helpful!
