Apologies for another long absence, I got bored of this game because I am not very good at making things, limiting my creativity. But here is one of what I think are some of my most beautiful creations I have ever made.

Description
The Wright B-89 Echelon is a medium bomber made for the New Wright Republic. Its first flight was in 1986 and was found to be quite effective, most pilots remarking that it was the smoothest flying aircraft they have ever flown. Squadron service came two years later, with 75% of all bomber squadrons flying this aircraft. One such Echelon was modified to test the Boom Lucifer tactical nuclear bomb to see its feasibility. The first and only test was in 1990, the last nuclear test so far in the history of the Wright island group.
Entry into service: 1988
