-Description-

In 2057, a new, long range interceptor/escort fighter was needed, to support the upcoming [Redacted] aircraft. The F/A-38 was able to take off from carriers all over the world and be able to fly along with the [Redacted] aircraft as a escort. In 2059, a accident happened, where the F/A-38 hit the [Redacted]'s main [Redacted] gun. This caused it to fall down into the ground, creating a explosion that hit 3 other aircraft, downing them as well. The locals in the area reported a large rumble in the sky, while looking at the [Redacted] aircraft soaring above. The incident is regarded as "The day iron fell from the sky".
