555 FreakyJim  3.0 years ago

The Northrop F-5 is a small manueverable fighter that has found a niche as a export fighter for smaller air arms. This example was originally made in Osea around 2003 before seeing service in the 2010 Circum-Pacific War. After the war, it was sold to Leasath and helped outfit its air arm. It then saw service in the 2019 Leasath Civil War and subsequent 2020 Aurelia-Leasath War before being destroyed sometime in late 2020. In real life, the Northrop F-5 is a retired cold war fighter designed as a private project by Northrop to create a small manuverable aircraft. It is equipped with 2x 20mm cannons and 2x Multi-Role Missiles. Controls are: 1 to arm guns, 2 to open canopy, 3 to arm missiles and VTOL for flaps. The HUD was made by JuanNotAnAlt.
