Swanhead Concept - Gold Celebration

7,203 Xogo  7.8 years ago

I hit gold! Yaaaaay! I figure one of the best ways to celebrate this would be a little homage to my first flagship fighter (and my first plane to get any attention of anysort) - the Swanhead. This was built from the original MF-3-A Swanhead, and is pretty much like that thing BMW did in homage to the 2002.

Special thanks/shoutouts/whatever to:
Tully2001 - The first person I ever really had any communication with in this game
Liquidfox - Generally a cool person
ccooper - The highest production rate of well functioning planes I've ever seen, plus a lot of upvotes
PINK - Another generally cool person, has some pretty interesting ideas in their builds
ChaMikey - First guy to suggest a plane for me to build that I actually went for. I took way too long making it.
Either QuantumSandwich or SUPERSAMROCK - Not sure which one it was, but I think one of those guys gave me my first upvote, on one of my early Swanheads.
Sunnyskies - Gave me that one last upvote that pulled me through.

Wow, that got kinda more sentimental sounding than I think makes much sense. Oh well, Thanks guys!
