LA-1 Cardinal (AI Art Challenge)

3,555 LimeAir  1.1 years ago

The LA-1 fighter was used in vietnam after the USAF requested an attack aircraft from the aircraft manufacturer Lime Air. After the failure of the LF-1, the USAF wasn’t sure that LimeAir was up to the challenge, but they provvoded them the contract anyway. A small, efficient attacker, the LA-1 could defend troops on the ground, restock weapons, and attack enemies farther away. While not the best attacker, it was cheap enough to make many of them creating what was known as a Cardinal Strike Team. 6 pilots would fly their planes in a V formation then drop all weapons on their target, regardless of what weapons they were equipped with.

INSTRUCTIONS: AG1-2 to drop weapons and AG7 to open canopy.

Hope you enjoy this! My prompt was originally “1950s USAF jet with twin engines”. I think the AI missed the memo. The first image is what the AI gave. I dont know what the floating things in the background are.
