AAF F-23C Vulture (Whack AL Flying carrier build challenge)
The F-23C Vulture is a parasite fighter built by the U.T.A.A.F (United Territories of Arial Air Force) for the Whack AL "Flying Aircraft Carrier Build Challenge".
WARNING: Using 100% throttle WILL cause the engines to overheat and set on fire, so never use 100% throttle [unless you really want to]
- 70% throttle has the same thrust as 100%, so only use 100% when "Allow engine overheating" is disabled

1. Enter through "Entry" hatch
2. Find and switch on the "Batt on" switch on the back wall
3. Enter pilots seat

8. Fly off
(Use cases
- Interceptor

(DISCLAIMER:
Although The F-23C was not designed to be single use, the lack of fuel and landing gear due to the size restrictions of being a micro fighter for another aircraft, not being able to return to the mother-ship is a very real possibility. Because of this, I have taken the necessary precautions to insure that the crew survives in the event of not being able to return to base.
(Exiting the vehicle in the event of not returning to base
-Over or near water: It is highly recommended that if you are able to reach any body of water, you make a crash landing in the closest body of water. For water landings, the entire crew compartment is waterproof and the F-23C is buoyant enough to stay on or near the surface to allow the crew to escape.
-Over land: If a water landing is not available, the crew is provided with a "Bail out hatch" in the floor below the entry hatch. The crew is also provided with a single parachute during a bail out.(due to space restrictions, if aircraft has a passenger, it is recommended that the passenger bring a parachute for themselves to bail out with as the provided parachute is reserved for the pilot) Additional survival equipment is supplied in the event of separation from the aircraft.
-Crash Landing on the ground: In the event that a crash landing over land is your only option, expend any ordinances still on the aircraft to lower the risk of explosion, lower your altitude while attempting to keep as much speed as possible to avoid stalling, and once you are close enough to the ground, pitch slightly up so that the aircraft's tail hits the ground first, reducing the risk of a fire in the crew compartment.
