Auto Credit Based on FeatherWing's Military Trainer Challenge (CLOSED)

Description

While initially built as fighter bomber for another military, budget cuts cause the project to become cancelled. The company in a move to reduce losses made modifications to the existing airframes and marketed it as a carrier based training aircraft.

Modifications to the airframe included the removal of the 2 nose guns, the addition of a cockpit for the instructor and the additions of sensors that were not present on the original airframes.

It met a mild success with the military forces of smaller countries and was ironically often converted to a fighter bomber.
