When it comes to moving troops or ferrying cargo long distances, the vehicle of choice has been the airplane. Ever since World War I, the airplane has ruled the skies over the battlefield. Without some form of opposing AA defense, an aircraft pilot can do whatever he wants to anybody on the ground. Don't say you weren't warned.
DEATH EAGLE
The Death Eagle is produced by DKI/New Omaha under license from Wizard
Works Aircraft in Colorado Springs. It is designed as a short-range N/AW
interceptor with a secondary ground-attack mission. The Death Eagle's heavy
composite armor and weapons package make tangling with it a losing proposition.
Death Eagle: Streamlined large airplane, super aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, CACR propellors w/ ducted cowling, retractable landing gear w/ 3 PR tires, pilot, 2 linked ACs (wing-mounted F), 4 linked HMGs (wing-mounted F), hi-res computer, radar, radar identification w/ link to radar, terrain-following radar, IR sighting system, autopilot w/ 2 software packages, aircraft radio, safety/ejection seat, tinted/no-paint windows, 10 pts FPCA on pilot, improved tail assembly, Composite Armor: F15/10, B12/10, R10/8, L10/8, T10/10, U12/10.

STAR FIGHTER
The Star Fighter is another design from Wizard Works Aircraft. It is
a long-range interceptor that is quite possibly the fastest propellor-driver
aircraft ever built. The four pulse lasers give it a devastating punch.
Do not engage this aircraft under any circumstances.

HARTMANN SPECIAL
This Wizard Works aircraft is named after the WW II Luftwaffe pilot
Erich Hartmann (the highest-scoring ace in history: 352 confirmed kills).
It is a pure ground-attack aircraft with a devastating amount of firepower.
Hartmann Special: Large airplane w/ heavy-lift wings, standard aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, CACR propellors w/ ducted cowling & 20 points armor, retractable landing gear w/ 3 PR tires, pilot, RFTG w/ extra magazine F (all ammo is HESH), 2 linked ACs (wing-mounted F, 4 linked HMGs (wing-mounted F), hi-res computer, radar, radar identification w/ link to radar, terrain-following radar, aircraft radio, tinted/no-paint windows, safety/ejection seat, 10 pts FPCA on pilot, Armor: F70, B60, R60, L60, T58, U70.

DOOM BAT
The Doom Bat is the first jet-powered design ever produced by Wizard
Works Aircraft. It is an unusual blend of form and function. The Doom Bat
has not been tested in combat yet, so there has been no appraisal of its
performance.
Doom Bat: Streamlined medium flying wing w/ swept wings, 6-space standard jet engine, 2 45-gallon racing tanks (1 in each wing), retractable landing gear w/ 2 PR tires, pilot, pulse laser F, laser battery, HrSwc, radar, radar identification w/ link to radar, terrain-following radar, aircraft radio, safety/ejection seat, tinted/no-paint windows, improved tail assembly, improved controls, 10 pts FPCA on pilot, Armor: F60, B50, R50, L50, T49, U60. Acceleration: 15, HC: 3, Top Speed: 685 mph, Stall Speed: 132.5 mph, Base MPG: 5, 9,992 lbs, $267,430.
PEREGRINE
Wizard Works Aircraft recently introduced this design for pilots who
are on a budget. The Peregrine is named for its blazing speed and for the
power dives it makes when attacking an enemy. This aircraft's heavy armor
and high speed are its major selling points.
Peregrine: Streamlined medium airplane w/ swept wings, small aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, airplane propellor w/ ducted cowling, retractable landing gear, pilot, 2 linked VMGs wing-mounted F, 2 3-space rocket EWPs (wing-mounted U) w/ jettison joints & 3 HRs in each, hi-res computer, radar, safety/ejection seat, 10 pts CA on pilot, Sloped Armor: F75, B55, R60, L60, T53, U60. Acceleration: 15, HC: 2, Top Speed: 620 mph, Stall Speed: 132.5 mph, 10,000 lbs, $60,790.
GYRFALCON
The Gyrfalcon is designed to operate in conjunction with the Peregrine.
Its primary mission is to function as a light bomber. The variety of ammunition
carried by the wing-mounted machineguns gives the pilot a high degree of
tactical flexibility.
Gyrfalcon: Streamlined medium airplane w/ swept wings, small aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, airplane propellor w/ ducted cowling, retractable landing gear, pilot, 4 linked MGs w/ rotary magazines wing-mounted F (ammo is 1/2 HD & 1/2 explosive), 2 dual-weapon magazines w/ incendiary ammo & 2 magazine switches each (in wings), 2 3-space bomb racks w/ jettison joints & 3 100-lb cluster bombs in each (wing-mounted U), hi-res computer, radar, Armor: F65, B50, R55, L55, T49, U55. Acceleration: 15, HC: 2, Top Speed: 620 mph, Stall Speed: 132.5 mph, 10,000 lbs, $64,970.
NEPTUNE
The moderately-armored Neptune is a shore-based reconaissance &
patrol aircraft. Its guns are of equal use in attacking surface targets
and defending against other aircraft. The bomb racks give the pilot flexibility
by carrying his choice of bombs, torpedoes or depth charges.
Neptune: Streamlined large airplane w/ heavy-lift wings, standard
aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, airplane propellor w/ ducted cowling
& 20 points armor, retractable landing gear, pilot & gunner, 2
linked ACs w/ 2 extra magazines each (wing-mounted F), 2 HMGs w/ rotary
magazines (10 shots HD/10 shots explosive each) in 3-space universal turret
T, 1 extra magzine (incendiary ammo) w/ 2 magazine switches in turret,
2 4-space bomb racks w/ jettison joints (wing-mounted U), 2 HrSwcs, radar,
radar identification, aircraft radio, 2 safety/ejection seats, Armor: F60,
B43, R45, L45, T30, U50. Acceleration: 5, HC: 1, Top Speed: 357.5 mph,
Stall Speed: 90 mph, 14,987 lbs, $127,890.
Exterior ordnance capacity: 1,000 lbs.
KILLER BOOMERANG
The Radius Motors Killer Boomerang is infamous for its bomb load. It
was one of the first bombers able to carry five 1,000-lb bombs at once
(this has since been exceeded by other designs). The fact that it is a
parasite aircraft fitted with radarproof armor makes it almost impossible
to detect. The Killer Boomerang is launched near its target by an airship.
It then proceeds to make its bomb run. It has rocket boosters for escape
and to gain altitude.
Killer Boomerang: Large cargo flying-wing microplane w/ improved
tail assembly, small cycle power plant, 700-lb rocket booster B, landing
skid, pilot, IrTl w/ Lgl in 0-space universal turret U, HrSwc, weapons
timer, IR sighting system, radar, radar detector, radar jammer, LD radio,
tow hook, STOL/heavy-lift wings, maneuver foils w/ 10 points RP armor,
safety/ejection seat, RP Armor: 40 in all locations. Acceleration: 10 w/
HSRs, HC: 0, Top Speed: 30 mph+, 9,135 lbs, $73,220.
Payload Capacity: 25 spaces, 5,665 lbs.
HOBGOBLIN
The Radius Motors Hobgoblin is designed as a parasite jet fighter for
defense of airships. This radical concept is modeled after the original
XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter. The Hobgoblin is one of the strangest planes
ever built. Its main problem is re-attaching back to the airship that launched
it.
Hobgoblin: Small microplane w/ swept wings & improved tail assembly, 2-space HP jet engine w/ 15-gallon duelling tank, pilot, VMG (F), 2 RGMs (wing-mounted F), hi-res computer, radar,radar detector, radar jammer, tinted/no-paint windows, maneuver foils, tow hook (no landing gear), landing skid, FPRP Armor: F22, B22, R22, L22, T22, U22. Acceleration: 15, HC: 4, Top Speed: 857.5 mph, Stall Speed: 40 mph, Base MPG: 1, 3,000 lbs, $122,933.
"A" option: Replace VMG w/ afterburner. Armor is now 27 points in all locations. Top Speed: 1,090 mph. $169,313.
"B" option: As original, but replace RGMs w/ MGs. $117,933.
"C" option: As "A" option, but replace RGMs w/ MGs. $164,313.
GLOOMWING
The Gloomwing is a multi-role strike aircraft whose missions also include
suppression of enemy air defenses, ECM operations and bombing runs. Although
the Gloomwing is less heavily-armored than some other aircraft designs,
attacking one is virtual suicide because of its heavy firepower and the
fact that there usually are several escort aircraft in attendance .
Gloomwing: Streamlined cargo flying wing w/ swept wings &
improved tail assembly, super aircraft power plant w/ upgrades, 2 airplane
propellors w/ ducted cowlings & 10 pts FP armor on each, retractable
landing gear, pilot & 2 gunners, 4 linked ACs w 1 extra magazine each
(wing-mounted F), 2 HDCDs w/ 1 extra magazine each (wing-mounted B), 4-space
sponson turret B w/ 4 HMGs (all ammo is proximity-fuzed explosive), 2 4-space
universal turrets (TF & UB) w/ 2 pulse lasers in each, 2 laser batteries,
0-space universal turret UF w/ IrTl & Lgl, 3 hi-res computers, computer
gunner w/ 2 software packages, bollix, radar, terrain-following radar,
bomb bay, FP Armor: F58, B40, RF45, RB45, LF45, LB45, TF40, TB40, UF50,
UB50. Acceleration: 10, HC: 0, Top Speed: 620 mph (565 mph fully-loaded),
Stall Speed: 132.5 mph, 24,997 lbs, $366,375.
