Auto Credit Based on phanps's 1YF
Big thanks to @BogdanX for fixing autoroll. And many thanks to my friend @Marine for helping me with gear and many designs elements.
Small story
The US air force needed a new small lightweight fighter. The YF-16 and YF-17 were made to compete in the lightweight fighter program in 1974. The YF-16 won and was then produced into the F-16. Hope was not lost for the Cobra, the navy then took interest and the F/A-18 was developed.
Features:
I added a small recoil effect when gun is fired. @bjac0 taught me that.
@Marine made some flaps that work, i made the slats.
AG1 to turn on the lights.
VTOL for flaps and slats.
Trim for...duh! Trim!
Thanks for checking out my plane! Have fun and happy flying!
Merry Christmas (i know I'm late :P)
Cheers -Phanps

Beautiful plane dude
Is it just me....or...this plane looks like an F-18 Hornet, oh wait, it's the prototype for the F/A-18
@Texasfam04 Thanks! I learned a lot about the program in high school, i never learned about the exact facts of the two planes. I love a good story and i love a good plane.
@Mostly thank you!
@ChiChiWerx Thanks a lot!
on the f-16 topic theres quite a few variants that were produced that most dont know abt also, F-16 Afti, Vista, XL and then the block 60’s with conforming fuel tanks.
you did a great job phan! the story behind this plane is pretty cool imo. the lightweight fighter program is something most people dont care to know abt these days. i think its great you included a bit of the history.
Nice!
