Auto Credit Based on Homemade1's Bellow 100 part Challange [CLOSED]

The Thunderchief was a supersonic fighter bomber built by Republic Aviation. The plane was a follow up to the Mach 1 F-100 Super Sabre and mainly fought as an attack aircraft during the Vietnam War. This single engine aircraft is capable of carrying a larger payload then the WWII 4 engine B-17 and B-24 bombers.

833 of these planes were built and delivered mainly to the US Airforce. In total 382 aircraft were lost in combat which is kinda a lot. It is said that this is the only aircraft from the US to leave combat service due to high loss rates.

Controls:

AGT 1 is the drag chute

    Fun to fly, could be balanced better and maybe different paint scheme. But for a newer builder it's pretty damn good. Keep up the good work
