Auto Credit Based on HNL47's NATF Program Challenge (CLOSED)

In the modern era of naval air combat, the Avlanchian Navy realized it needed some more advanced aircraft to fight its battles. Stumbling across some old American bomber plans, they developed this, the AS-376 Wedger, named for its wedge-like wing shape. It proved highly effective in combat thanks to its ravager machine guns, even more powerful than an A-10's.

Controls

Act. 1 - Afterburner
Act. 2 - deploy weapons pods
Act. 3 + VTOL down - wings down for supersonic flight
Act. 3 + VTOL up - carrier stowage
Act. 4 - arrestor hook
Trim - Trim
Act. 8 - nosewheel steering

This is the first plane I've made official landing gear bays on so it's pretty cool in that respect.
