Fixed Wing
Observation
- OV-10 Bronco - the beloved Mighty Steed of the AFAC. Slow, with excellent vision and a rocket-heavy armament. If the Bronco can see it, it's going to have a bad day.
- O-1 Bird Dog - a Cessna that got lost and sprayed grey. Powered by a lawnmower engine and unarmed bar a radio. Scatter is weirdly fond of it despite everything.
- O-2 Skymaster - a travesty of an aircraft; two Cessnas got cut-and-shut. Powered by two lawnmower engines and spite. Best employed by cutting up and turning into a desk.
Attack
- A-1 Skyraider, aka Spad. Massive and overpowered pistol engine aircraft with a million pylons and a vast lift capacity Can stay on station all day, come in at treetop height and walking pace to spaff napalm over the broad area.
- A-4 Skyhawk, aka Scooter - baby strike jets catapulted off Navy carriers.
- A-6 Intruder - medium bombers catapulted off Navy carriers. Bombs for days, and tiny engines that give a weird whisting noise as they overfly you.
- A-7 Corsair-II - Air Force medium bomber. Fast and angry, bombs for days.
- A-37 Dragonfly, aka Super Tweet - the tiniest little fighter bomber that could. Adorable. No notes. Will not hear a bad word spoken against.
Fighters
- F-4 Phantom - Air Force heavy fighter. Missile armed, your best defence against MiGs.
- F-8 Crusader - Air Force fighter. Gun armed, sometimes beats up ground targets for us.
- F-100 Super Saber, aka Hun (for Hundred) - light fighter/bomber.
- F-105 Thunderchief, aka Thud - verrrrry fast fighter bomber with tiny windows and crap visibility. Cross your fingers.
Bombers
- B-52 Stratofortress. Any air callsign with the prefix Heavy is probably one of these. Bombs for weeks; they're flying so high they can't see anything. Read your map grids verrrry carefully.
