Sorry for no photos, I didn't get to use this on my phone

Year: 1979

Manufacturer: Asteroid Industries

Description:
That As-20 Puma is a twin-engine subsonic multirole fighter aircraft that first flew in Operation Tightrope. Built almost exclusively for this role, it was of the essence that it be compact, have good maneuverability, but not be too fast to the point where pilots had difficulty controlling it. It was also able to carry a heavy payload, with 4 wing hardpoints, a hardpoint underneath the fuselage, and two wing mounts for air-to-air missiles. Rather than the conventional air-to-air machine gun, it had a 100mm cannon mounted in the nose to destroy ground and air targets with maximum efficiency and power. The Puma proved very popular with pilots and a very effective unit. (I based it off a Mirage III, F-4 Phantom II, and an Su-27 Flanker)

Controls:
Act. 1 - Nav/formation lights
Act. 2 - Airbrakes (similar to a Blackburn Buccaneer)
Act. 3 - Landing lights
Act. 8 - Nose steering (lock while taking off or landing)
VTOL: flaps (Don't use with trim)
Trim: trim

    This is a very nice plane! I see some F-4 inspiration 👀
    One thing though: in my opinion, it is nowhere near maneuverable enough. I'm not saying it should be able to turn on a dime, but terrain evasion like in this challenge is going to be very hard to pull off in this. Best of luck!
