"Swamp Queen" Float Bomber

7,087 BarrettTheFerret  6.7 years ago

(FICTIONAL PLANE) Originally a humble passenger plane, the "Swamp Queen" carried tourists all around the bayou, never flying very long distances. She was later converted, after years of reliable civilian service, into a flying battleship. This battleship then saw combat in WWII- island hopping in the pacific. Though she could make easy water landings if damaged, taking off from the water proved to be impossible due to her greatly increased weight as a bomber. I spent a lot of time on this one. Remember to leave comments and upvote if you liked it! | To take off successfully, TRIM ALL THE WAY DOWN to lift the landing gear and raise the elevator trim. (You'll probably end up in a nose dive to the ground if you don't do so) VTOL to move the turrets. Don't fire the machine guns until TRIM is DOWN. Thank you so much if you read all of this.
