DISCLAIMER: Use the elevator trim!!! The heavy armament, afterburner, and rate of fuel burn cause the aircraft's stability to vary.

The two letter tail code may not be accurate to the fighter wing or role of the aircraft, I mainly added this to let others know in the community what tail codes are.
This website gives you an idea of what existing tail codes there are and their respective fighter wings, as well as what planes they flew.

Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated!

    @Indecision Can I use it in the description of my latest project? It will refer that my new aircraft is going to replace the fleet of modernised F-55Es of many countries around the world in the role of air-to-ground precision strike.

    @ChiChiWerx a Lämmergeier is a species of vulture that's known for eating bone marrow. It's pronounced Lam-er-gye-er if you were wondering
