Auto Credit Based on LieutenantSOT's Cold War Aircraft Fighters Challenge [CLOSED]
The true successor to my good old Thunderstreak from 3 years ago. AG 1 to enable jet engine and AG 2 for landing chute.
It has a hidden gun in the nosecone. The missiles are Guardians with custom bodies so keep your lock-on. Above 85% a Funky Trees afterburner turns on.
The aircraft's empty weight is not negative. That is a side effect of the weightless fuel I added.
CREDITS:
@thealban for USAF insignia
@Tully2001 for main landing gear, which i extended and slightly modified
@JED for AIM-4 Falcon missiles
Based off of the F-105, like the original Thunderstreak.

@NexusGaming oh, cool!
@LieutenantSOT Well, it's based off of an F-105 and the F-105 was basically a bomber that could function as a fighter. It wasn't intended to be a fighter but it could do that if needed (remember that the F-105 was considered a "Triple Threat" — it could bomb you, strafe you, or fall on you.) so yeah, the gun has a bit of spread because the aircraft isn't good at close range dogfights which would involve guns.
@NexusGaming Okay, so first off, it flies pretty good. With how big those elevators are, I thought it would spin out of control.
BUT. The Cockpit looks very small, and the plane's maneuverability is odd in a dogfight. I tried attacking a drone, and it kept missing (with the cannon). But other than that, it is quite good!
@NexusGaming I have not flown it yet. I wait to start grading for the deadline, or slightly before it. I can fly it right now, though!
@LieutenantSOT How was it?
Awesome! I look forward to flying her around. And THANK YOU someone finally put the Insignias facing the right direction
@TheBoldColonel no prob
@LieutenantSOT
This is for the Interceptor category
@Tully2001 you said to tag you on posts with your custom landing gear, so here
