Northrop F-89J Scorpion

WILL REPOST LATER

This Scorpion has a nuclear sting!
This uses the markings of the F-89J at the National Museum of the United States Air Force:

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion is an all-weather, twin-engined interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Northrop Corporation. It was the first jet-powered aircraft to be designed for the interceptor role from the outset to enter service, as well as the first combat aircraft to be armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons in the form of the unguided Genie rocket. The name Scorpion came from the aircraft's elevated tail unit and high-mounted horizontal stabilizer, which kept it clear of the engine exhaust.

INSTRUCTIONS:

To fire the AIR-2A Genies, first locate a plane on your radar. Then, wait until it is in range. When it is at optimal range, switch to Air-to-Ground, select the Genie, put the reticle slightly above the target and fire. Bank away as hard as you can.
OPTIMAL RANGE, HEAD-ON: 6 miles
OPTIMAL RANGE, CHASE: 4.5 miles

Enjoy!

P.S. I didn't see any "J" models on the site, so I made one myself.

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 If you look to the left, there is a fireball. That's supposed to be a Genie detonating.
