"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...

I still have a toy of this somewhere that my Father gave me, I hope it's still in the attic.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover for some reason I remember something like that, but my memories are now basically toasted, cooked, fried, deep fried, boiled, baked, steamed and burnt
@TheUltimatePlaneLover gasp
@Suckee Well that actually did happen sometime after M-War, two or three times iirc. Monarchii wasn't involved in any of them, but they did happen. We won btw
I think it was TB/TC War. S-War, and another I can't remember ;-;
@Karroc9522
-Night Stolen For 12 Hours-
@TheUltimatePlaneLover ohhh my bad then
I mean that's as close as we get to an actual sp war I guess unless someone does something genuinely stupid to the point where an actual war starts
You cant steal my nigh...wait a minute...why is it day time?
@Suckee Oh, there is no beef, nor is there a third war:
M-War I was really just a joke that expanded into an entire series, as Monarchii and TheMouse (good friends of both each other and by that point me) had a little comment skit where Monarchii stole one of TheMouse's machine guns- a war-worthy action given his then name "MouseWithAMachineGun123," hence reducing it to 122. During this war, MGLA (Machine Gun Liberator Allies) went head-to-head with Monarchii and allies, and frankly it was quite the spectacle.
M-War II was much different, as Monarchii and I simply thought "ey what if we had another M-War." However, while M-War I was a an absolute free-for-all with a ragtag group of fighters trying to get back a precious machine gun, M-War II was well-thought out, a civil war between the Loyalists (those loyal to the Monarchii) and the Reformists (those aiming to usurp current and turn to communism). Neither side won this war, we both just kinda gave up lol. During this war, however, the MDA (including me) sided with the Loyalists and Monarchii.
M-War III doesn't exist, at least unless someone else started it... there is The Scourge War (TSW), but the Monarchii so far hasn't had any direct involvement in it.
TL;DR: There's no beef, Monarchii and I are pretty good friends actually. The whole "war" thing is really just what we do when we get bored lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover for some LunarEclipseSP said there was a 3rd m war and he doesn't know much about it and told me to ask you so yeah why do you have beef with monarchii
@KPLBall Aite
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
Oooohhhhh
Yea makes sense
@TheUltimatePlaneLover 117N
@KPLBall Is 'zat F-117N or Wraith?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover I'ma just show you a pic....
Here
PEA btw
@M109simp Thanks :D
@KPLBall
1. Oh I see, I can only find a drawing of the Wraith but someone else on SP referred to the F-19 as Wraith as well
2. It'll take some time (because of the Nighthawk's difficult geometry) but I can try, PEA or just built regardless of PEA standards?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Beautiful!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Also can you build the War Tycoon F-117N Seahawk with closest target locking missiles?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover tak, and it's not the Spectre from what I can tell, it's the Wraith.
@KPLBall To my knowledge I don't think McDonnell ever did anything with the F-19?
Unless you're thinking of the Spectre (the other F-19)
Wasn't the F-19 a Mc Donnell Douglas prototype (on paper) bending electromagnetic waves?
@TheRLAF *Gen 4 refers to the my production of PEAs rather than the aircraft itself, as I’ve gone through four different “generations” of PEAs with different skills, styles, time periods, etc.
Pinned comment here explains it in more depth
How is this a gen 4
@TheUltimatePlaneLover lol
@SimplyElegant I always post planes in Unlisted before unleashing them to the public, this one’s been waiting a while lol
