I'm glad to be back with the update features to play with. First plane I've made in years now.
I designed this Plane with idea of Modern-ish'izing the concept of the interceptors of the 50s and 60's and it has a basic cockpit, some external camera views, and a Nose mounted cannon for basic weaponry. I'm sure this plane can carry payloads, but I didn't want to bother with it right now.

The afterburner function is all visual and will toggle on above 70% throttle.

It has twin ("totally functional") Turbo-Ramjet engines that will carry the aircraft to High Mach 3/Mach 4 speeds (2900-3100 MPH) when kept above 60,000 ft, and it has plenty of power to rely on.

The Rear Tail Fin inputs are toggleable for more pitch authority by pressing 4 and the Aircraft can be trimmed out mid flight

Formation/Landing Lights toggled by pressing 1 and 2,

3 is an optional toggle for gyroscopic stability

The canopy can be raised by pressing 5 and moving the vtol slider up.

6 is for an optional chute deployment

Feel free to put your own payloads or modifications onto it
