Sparrow Fighter Mk 1

147k Pilotmario  8.2 years ago

The first domestically-produced fighter in the Pilotmario Air Force. A total of seventeen were produced in a secret factory near Rodmantown during the Sanctan Civil War, by the Pilotmario Resistance. Nine were lost to various causes, mostly accidents relating to the aircraft's construction. After the conflict, an additional 50 aircraft were produced by Rodmantown Heavy Industries to supplement the 8 survivors. They saw several sorties, strafing Sanctan and Olympian troop concentrations and cavalry with ease. Due to Sanctan and Olympian underinvestment in aviation, it was one of the most advanced aircraft in the world. It was replaced by the Pummeler in Pilotmario Air Force service as a fighter before the First Olympian War, although it remained in training roles until after the war, when surplus Pummelers allowed the Pilotmario Air Force to phase them out economically. All were scrapped, though a non-flying replica was produced and displayed in the Science and Technology Museum in Dragot.
