"Night Thief"

I made the name lol

Do you like fictional aircraft?

Well, I have a semi-fictional one for you! The F-19 never flew, but it existed as a model kit. Well, many model kits, seeing as it's regarded as one of if not the best-selling model of all time. The F-19 was an attempt to guess what the F-117 would look like, but any look longer than a quick glance can reveal some major differences (although the F-19 looks much more similar to the F-117's predecessor, Have Blue).

This F-19 here isn't exactly a dogfighter- I know, not exactly common for me and my three-second turn times lol. Instead, it relies on speed, decent missiles, and you guess it:

Fun Fact:

Nobody can really decide on the F-19's name. In reality, "Stealth Fighter" is the official name, but I refuse to leave it at that since that's more or less just the type of aircraft rather than its name. Like calling the B-52 the "B-52 Strategic Bomber," just doesn't work! Other names I've heard include "Stealer" and "Frisbee," with the former of the two being the only real name the F-19 has gotten in model kits. I've also heard "Ghostrider" a time or two. Ultimately I went with Night Thief, simply because I figured that if the plane is both fictional and has many names, I should throw one into the mixing pot!

Also, on the topic of the F-19's name, technically I gave it the wrong designation: the famous F-117 wannabe was actually just called "F-19," whilst "F-19A" was given to its less-known cousin, the "Specter," which looked like something straight out of Ace Combat 8 (we are still waiting for 8, bro 🥀)

Oh also, one more fun fact: the F-19 marks the end of PEA-G "Batch 2." You probably won't notice this too much, seeing as Batches only refers to periods of time in which groups of PEA-Gs were made. Just a little fun fact.

PEA Lore:

Ah, the F-19 is quite the troublemaker in the PEA-verse...

In our universe, the '19 is in fact fictional, never being produced even as a prototype. But in the PEA-verse, it certainly exists, but everyone thinks it's fictional because the few people who know of it refuse to mention it, because the trolling got too much... also, remember how I said the F-1s flooded the USSR's media with so much rice that it collapsed? Well, they may have had some help from a certain rogue stealth jet...
