Whirlwind Bomber

Picture

Universe: Theta

Story: Insanity Please

First seen: Insanity Please strip 616

Type: Fighter-bomber, heavier emphasis on bomber.

Year(s): 1984-2001

Crew: 2

Passengers: 0

Top Speed: Mach 3

Weapons: Various loadouts of air-ground or smart bombs. Can also carry extra cannon pods in addition to two inboard 20mm cannon.

Defence: Chaff, flares, inboard ECW measures, as well as hardpoints for extra pods.

Capacity: Small cargo area for pilot's personal effects and other bits. Can fit underwing cargo pods.

Length: XXXX

Width: XXXX

Height: XXXX

Fuel Type: aviation fuel

General Info:

A large, two-seat plane built for the Doman Air Force, and spirited away by The Returners when that kingdom fell. The returners have about 80 of them, dispersed around various "farms". Some Doman expertise defected with them (these being the only two seaters), so they're in pristine condition, and ready for operations whenever appropriate.

Though they emphasise ground attacks, they can hold their own as fighters, too, especially against some of Shinra's older designs. They are, of course, also great for knocking down Shinra transport and radar planes.

Variants:

XXXX

Origin / Inspiration:

Mostly inspired by the F-15 Eagle and Mig-29, with a little bit of the Tornado.

The name is inspired by Whirlwind 1, "my" cart in earlier (and later!) Cart Wars comics. When I first built a cart, I called it Wildcat, for some reason. The second cart I built was actually called Whirlwind 1. As with Wildcat, it was never raced, as nobody else ever finished a cart to do Cart Wars with.
