The B-88B "SkyRat" is a 1950s carrier-based strike bomber designed to operate from short flight decks.
A trijet, with two smaller underwing engines and a third much larger core jet, it is quite capable at hauling itself into the air.
It turns on a dime, though pilots have noticed stability issues at times, especially after dropping its payload.
Regardless of these faults, the "SkyRat" performed respectably during its brief stint in the Korean War, where its effectively redundant (and jettison-able in case of fire) engines gave it greatly desired survivability against the constant flak the aircraft drew.
Care to take it to the sky?
Now's your chance.
Now VR compatible!
Looks a bit drab, though.

I forgot to tag as VR lmao
Kicking myself rn
Forgot to mention, this is an updated model of a much older craft!
Incredibly uninteresting teaser
@Ashdenpaw1 I'm sure he is.
@Graingy he silly
@Ashdenpaw1 Enjoy your demon I guess
@Graingy the horrors of the dimension of sleep have come to haunt me
@Ashdenpaw1 oh
Oh okay
What does that mean
@Graingy I woke up at 12:50 pm to my walls moving
@Ashdenpaw1 That was nonsense. Mind rewording that?
@Graingy exactly. I’m more of the shitty one but I’m tired
@Ashdenpaw1 ? It's unarmed? And Slow?
@Graingy no it’s a good plane. It’s just a little shit to defeat
@Ashdenpaw1 I can't tell if that's an insult to the plane (in which case fuck you) or a reference to a SkyRat being a seagull which do indeed shit everywhere.
A better name is B-88B “SkyShit”
@DatFiat126Guy19 it really isn’t.
Horribly unstable for whatever reason.
The original flew fine, but alas…
Quality, as always.
I'm starting to think I could post a jar of urine and people would upvote it.
Like do you people even try this thing?
@Majakalona lol
TheMouse is asleep
