"The Swiss Army Knife of aircraft."

The SCU-12 Speedloader is a modular utility aircraft that can perform several missions, with the main goal of it being to transport small cargo to small areas. It has excellent STOL capabilities and a modular cargo bay. Other missions it can perform with some modifications include weather monitoring, maritime patrol, hurricane hunting, close air support, medevac, VIP transport, carrier resupply, firefighting, troop transport, paratrooper deployment, air launched missiles, and AEW&C. Granted, the aircraft needs modifications, however it is widely considered the perfect airframe.

The cockpit is unique, only consisting of one pilot. Backup systems and assistants are installed on onboard systems in case something happens to the pilot.

It also has great range and ETOPS-240 certification for cargo airlines that wish to purchase it for niche operations.

I forgot to write instructions so please read this!

AG1: Enables steering on the nose gear.
AG2: Power to Engine 1.
AG3: Power to Engine 2.
AG4: Lights On/Off.
AG5: Opens and closes the cargo bay door.
AG8: Canopy.

And yes, it can land safely. Rough? Maybe. Safe? Guaranteed.
I may have done several runs to Bandit Airport WHILE in First Person...

    Looks: 9.5/10 is very detailed and futuristic, and actually has a good cockpit view! The only this is that the wings look a tad blocky.

    Functionality: 9/10 Is very fast and maneuverable, and has a lot of activation groups! Really, there's nothing wrong with it, except that turning on the engines with activation groups is a bit annoying.

    Total score:
    18.5/20 you may have just won.
