The CF-39 Vulture is a carrier based fighter/interceptor used by the Royal Canadian Airforce and Navy.
Developed in tandem with the HMCS Montreal (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/qEcMYr/HMCS-Montreal-Aircraft-carrier-challenge ) to serve as one of Canada’s only carrier based fighters. Slow and inadequately armed, almost all pilots hated flying them but soon tactics for effective use of them were created. In particular flying low (below 500 feet) around the support fleet and only popping above that to engage threats.

Nothing is really special about it. Should handle like any other aircraft (trim intensive)
