AMX International AMX (A-11 Ghibli, Italian Air Force)
Lightweight Strike Aircraft
A light strike jet jointly developed by Italy and Brazil. Designated as the A-11 Ghibli by the Italian Air Force and A-1 by the Brazilian Air Force. It replaced the Aeritalia G.91 for the former and the Aermacchi MB-326 for the latter as their attack aircraft.

Fly fast, fly far, fly safe. If under attack, fly like a ravenous rat. Be annoying, be agile, and be not stupid.
Have fun.

Credit where it's due
@Phoebe - AMX International airframe
@GuyFolk - HUD, targeting, and map displays
@ReinMcDeer - Simple JDAM setup
apart from being very bouncy on landing and full trim being ineffective below 650km/h it's awesome
@GoldenArrowCO I think you need to take a good look at the colors if you haven't. That, or there's something wrong with your screen.
Those are Indian roundels?
very nice
