Designed in 1955, and put into production in 1957 the PF-101 is a Supersonic fighter made to take off and land on short, rugged runways. Exchanging speed for maneuverability, it can take off and climb exceptionally well, And contend with other 3rd gen aircraft in air to air combat.

It features a basic radar to help locate targets, 2, 33 MM Revolver cannons and 2 Aim-9B Heat seeking missiles. The airframe itself being simple and easy to mass produce, a total 6,700 Units were produced and sold.

This is the initial A variant of the Pf-101 that was intended as a dogfighter, although later production models were used as low altitude strike fighters. The plane is plane served till 1984 in the R.S.I.M.A.G and is still used today in a few other countrys, begging to be retired.

That is all, again
