The F-1 is a ground attack aircraft.
History
Strangereal
The F-1 saw limited use in the Strangereal world, first known to be used in the Belkan War by the Belkan Air Force. A notable pilot was Daniel Bierofka, callsign Wetterhahn.[1]
During the Aurelian War, the F-1 was operated by the Leasath Air Force. Four of these served as bomber escorts during the failed attack on Aubrey Air Base,[2] and one is the aircraft of choice for Leasath ace Shiva.[3] Aurelian Air Force pilot Rick also kept a spare F-1.[4]
Joint Assault universe
During the Valahia Crisis, Antares Squadron had access to the aircraft.
