A-16A 'Attack Falcon'
By Wrench
A-16A 'Attack Falcon'
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:I ONLY!!! --
As stated above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:I to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit lods that are ONLY found in SF2:I or Full-4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.
This is a modification of the F-16 Netz into the proposed A-16A 'Attack Falcon', a specalized ground support aircraft intended to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Those wishing more infromation on it, are encouraged to Google it, and also look at F-16.net.
The aircraft has been completely reskinned in 3-tone Euro 1, from a new home-grown template. Markings represent those based a Nellis AFB, Nevada (for weapons testing and integration). All basic inis, skins and decals are included, as is new green painted version of the AIM-9P Sidwinder (just for this mod/skin pak). All markings are decals, with the exception of the Nellis tail stripe. Serial numbers are spurious; taken from another source.
In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). With the exception of the green 9P winder, all loadouts use stock items.
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. Any and all inaccuracies are mine, as we only have the Netz to work from
Good Hunting!

[Fictional] Mikoyan MiG-29M3 "Hyper Fulcrum"
By Stipe
In 2012 the competition for the new fighter of the CRoAF was opened. the competetors were the Saab Gripen, F-16, Eurofighter, MiG-29, Mirage 2000 and Rafale. The MiG won because of its simplicity, low cost, and previous experience with the MiG aircraft (MiG-21). For the needs of the Croatian Air Force, the MiG-29M was heavily modified. The changes to the MiG-29M are the new Klimov RD-33MK engines smokeless, reduced radar signature and new western avionics. The first six MiGs entered service in late 2014 and the second batch in early 2015.

SF2 "What If" Supermarine Rapier F.1 3/10/2016
*= For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended =*
*** NOTE! you MUST have the stock 3rdWire Hunter F.6 as part of your merged installs; this aircraft mod references this stock cockpit. ***
This package contains a NEW "What If..." aircraft for Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and several Commonwealth & export customers, as used in the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Everything is included, excpeting the cockpit, as noted above
Skins included are for the following countries/units:
No. 830 NAS RN FAA (HMS Eagle)
No. 882 NAS RN FAA (HMS Ark Royal, circa 1962)
No. 860 MLD (HNLMS Karel Doorman, circa 1956)

VF-870 RCN (for either of the 2 CVs circa 1957)
The SF2 "date switch" is use for the Royal Navy skins. Other are selectable via their countries from the Select Service drop down, and will start on the dates stated in the userlist ini.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The only excpetion is for VF-870, as it's rudder markings are painted on.
The aircraft is fully carrier certified. All weapons used are stock 3W items - hence the need for Full-4/5 merged. A pilot figure, and the drop tanks are included.
Wingfold and canopy operate via the Standard Animation Keystrokes ; Shift/9 for the wings, Shift/0 (zero) for the window.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Piranha folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Piranha folder into your Decals folder.

SF2 Vought TF-8 Crusader Pack (What If...)
By Wrench
SF2 Vought TF-8 Crusader Pack 4/8/2016
= For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
*Note: you =MUST= have, as stated above have, at minimum, a Full-4 merged install, as this mod makes use of many items, from several versions of the games. A Full 5 with NA is reccomended. There are many "bits" required, most notably the cockpit referenced is from the A-7E Corsair II.*
This package contains a (somwhat) fictional outgrowth of the Vought F-8 Crusader. In the Real World , only ONE TF-8 Crusader was built (it's on display in the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensocla, FL). This assumes that Vought and the Navy chose to expand the production/refurbishment of early model Crusaders into the 2 seat variant seen here. The aircraft has expanded capabilites in both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground mission tasking (see Notes for more details on the factory modifications, and squadron decals used.)
This package contains the following skin sets:
USN, early (Gull Grey/White
USMC, early (Gull Grey/White
USN, Late (TPS low visibility grey)
French Navy, early (Gull Grey/White)
French Navy, late (Overall Blue) - both tagged for Flotille 12
The SF2 "date switch" is used for the USN and French Skins. The USMC skin stays in Grey/white for it's service life. All skins are in jpg format. Damage textures are in DDS format.
All markings are decals, and with few exceptions, reference stock 3W Modex and Squadron tail markings. Decal randomization for all skins is TRUE. All weapons used are also stock items (note: the WalleyeIIIER -may- be an SF2NA only weapon; this has not been confirmed)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Indeed, one would be well served by reading all the Notes section as well.
Happy Landings!

Vought F-118 Raider - Israeli Air Force Pack
By ianh755
************************ Israeli Air Force F-118 Pack for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 ************************
This pack contains several Israeli Air Force versions of the Vought Raider F-118 - created by Cocas (Daniel) - and it has been tested on a May '13 fully merged install of all 5 games. It requires SF2:Israel for the A/C serial numbers to show up on the tails, however, it will run without SF2:I but the tails will be blank.
***Aircraft can be found under "VOUGHT F-118" in the In-Game Menu***
History
--------
In 1974 the USAF started the Light Weight Fighter competition for a new light combat Fighter to complement the F-15A Eagle and in this version of History the winner was..........The Vought F-118A Raider. The aircraft's low cost and advanced design meant that it was exported widely, with Israel in particular buying a sizeable amount and modifying them well beyond what the original designers had ever thought possible.
This pack is designed to roughly mirror the service history of the F-16C/D/I so the design of a Blk30 F-118 is fairly similar to that of a Blk30 F-16 for example.
Installation
-------------
Unzip then copy and paste the Effects/Flight/Objects folders into your Mod folder, usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 **or whatever yours is called**.
AIRCRAFT
------------
Aircraft Specific Info -
----------------------
Single Seat -
Vought Raider F-118C 'Netz-A' ('87 - '94) - Initially designed as a fighter with a limited Air to Ground capability the IAF transformed it into a capable multi-role aircraft, able to dominate the airspace whilst improving the original designs limited Air to Ground capabilities.
Vought Raider F-118H 'Barak' ('95 - '30) - This upgrade saw everything from the engine to weapons to the avionics all upgraded, especially with the addition of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT's) to allow the pylons to be fully loaded with the latest smart weapons instead of fuel tanks creating a true multi-role aircraft whilst still allowing it to retain a significant Air to Air capability should the need arise.
Two Seat -
Vought Raider F-118D 'Netz-B' ('87 - '94) - Originally designed as a trainer the IAF transformed it into a superb Strike & Wild Weasel aircraft. More importantly for the IAF, the 2nd crew member also turned it into a deadly CAS aircraft.
Vought Raider F-118I 'Barak II' ('95 - '04) - This upgrade saw everything from the engine to weapons to the avionics all upgraded, especially with the addition of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT's) to allow the pylons to be fully loaded with the latest smart weapons instead of fuel tanks which, with it's 2nd crew member and advanced avionics, makes it ideal for the Wild Weasel role.
Vought Raider F-118M 'Sufa' ('05 - '30) - This massive upgrade once more saw everything uprated, from the engine to the weapons it can carry and, with this version, the avionics were all hugely upgraded, allowing it survive far behind any future enemy's lines, a mission for which it was especially designed. In addition to the CFT's fitted on the Barak II there was now a Spine Rack fitted to store all the extra Avionics required to make this the most advanced F-118 in Israel's inventory and possibly the deadliest aircraft in the Middle East.
OTHER INFO
-----------
Issues -
------
Python Missiles & Fuselage Pylons - Due to the size of the rear fins on the Python Missiles then can sometimes touch the stores put on the inboard wing pylon.
MApping - The mapping is difficult around the nose with some skin stretching. The USAF Euro skin was really tricky, so much so that I wanted to punch a thousand cute kittens in their cute little faces by the end, after spending hours/days trying to get the edges to match up! So sadly some of it's not as good as I'd like but the PS templates are out to so hopefully you can improve on my skin.
Weapons - PLEASE download Ravenclaw007's weapons packs, they are truly fantastic and include many unique Israeli weapons which haven't been included in this pack.
*******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ *******************

[Fictional] F-23E 'Karesh' (Shark)
By Spinners
F-23E for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of Dels' excellent F-23A 'Black Widow' to give a fictional F-23E 'Karish' (Shark) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;
No.110 squadron - The Knights Of The North Squadron.
No.119 Squadron - The Bat Squadron (with toned-down markings).
BACKSTORY
With the success of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and F-15 Eagle in Heyl HaAvir service the Israeli's were hoping that the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23A 'Black Widow' would win the USAF's ATF competition to continue their successful relationship with the McDonnell Douglas team at St. Louis but unfortunately Lockheed Martin's victory in the ATF competition looked like bringing an end to a long and enduring partnership.
However in a brave move, in May 1991 the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas team secured permission from Congress to actively market the F-23 to (State Department) 'approved' nations and offered a single-seat multi-role version called the F-23E (Export) to Germany, Japan, Israel and the UK. With Germany looking for any excuse to get out of the Eurofighter consortium and facing high reunification costs they persuaded the UK to team up in a combined purchase of 200 F-23E's. In return, this led to the German and UK Governments persuading Northrop/McDonnell Douglas to make BAe and MBB prime sub-contractors for any further export sales.
However, with only 200 F-23E's on order Northrop/McDonnell Douglas were not convinced that it was enough to start a viable programme but the breakthrough came in January 1994 when the USAF agreed to purchase 100 F-23A's for PACAF (the air component of United States Pacific Command) and this move finally saw Japan and Israel also join the programme with 100 F-23E's each.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Massive thanks to Dels for this superb add-on aircraft, it's one of the very best.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

[Fictional] Lockheed Martin F-35E "Lobo"
By ValAstur
[Fictional] F-35E Lobo (Wolf)
This is a mod of FastCargos F-35B to make it look like a plane from the spanish navy air arm.
BACKGROUND:
After having taken the F-14B "Lion" out of active service, the 8th and 9th escuadrilla from the Armada received the AV-8S and the TAV-8S. The arrival of the new spanish aircraft carrier "Principe de Asturias" made it necessary to have planes with jumpjet capabilities, which the "Lion" did not have.
With a unique offer from Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Lightning II, the Armada decided to replace the Matadors from the 8th escuadrilla with the F-35B, which had VSTOL-Capabilities.
Although the plane was called Lobo, which is a land-based predator, this name refers to the Seawolf. But seawolf would be lobo marino in spanish and aircraft do not have two part names.
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.
CREDITS:
Thanks to FastCargo and all other people involved in the creation of this plane.
Enjoy.

Sea Harrier FA4 2007-2020 "What-If"
By ianh755
********************************************************
"What If" - Sea Harrier FA.4 for SF2 V1.1
********************************************************
This is my "What If" version of the SF2 Sea Harrier FRS.2 I helped update with Wrench and DTMDragon.
Shortly before the paperwork scrapping the Sea Harrier FRS.2 was supposed to have been signed a Secret memo came from the US DOD claiming that its replacement,the F-35, was going to be much delayed, probably until 2015-2020. Rather than leave the Royal Navy toothless for a generation the decision was made to upgrade the Sea Harrier to FA4 status as a stop-gap until the F-35 was ready.
As well as a new cockpit, strengthened wings, improved avionics including a new ECM jamming suite and a slightly upgraded Air to Air weapons suite the Navy now decided that it needed it's Aircraft to have a precision capability if was to play any part in any possible upcoming conflicts. By this point the technical boffins at the MOD had upgraded the RAFs precision strike armoury with some World Class munitions, which gave the Navy access to these new weapons allowing it to greatly expand the previously limited strike role of the Sea Harrier. The newly designated FA4 (Fighter/Attack) will lead the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy into a bright future which makes the descision to scrap them look short-sighted.
This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy/RAF (WEAPONS NAME)", they're all fairly grouped together for ease of use. These have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have and may include upgrades to my previous weapons packs.
Installation
-------------
Unzip then copy and paste these folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or whatever yours is called).
AIRCRAFT
------------
Aircraft Specific Info -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sea Harrier FA4 (2007-2020) - Originally used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence this upgrade makes it a truly multirole weapons platform with a world leading capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and the new wing makes it 10G capable with a sustained 8G turn possible.
OTHER INFO
-----------
Loadout Screen -
--------------
If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods.
Sniper Pod - As this is the F-16 Chin Sniper pod in the loadout it shows up on the centreline but in-game it's where the right gun pod would be. The stock loadouts which require the Sniper pod also have the Left gunpod included which isn't possible through the In-Game Loadout Screen.
There is a nice update in 2015 when the RAF Meteor Air to Air Missile becomes available.
Issues -
---------------------------
Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot.
Cockpit - There's no nozzle gauge and the Weapons locations on the Left MFD can be a bit glitchy.
*******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ *******************
Change Log
--------------
V1.0 - Initial Release

[Renewed] YFA-5 Tactical Tiger
By ValAstur
This is a mod of Mirage Factorys F-5E Tiger II to make it look like a fictional plane for the US air force.
BACKGROUND:
The need for a fast, agile and versatile attack plane led to the construction of this plane. The R&D department of Northrop Grumman went a more unorthodox way: They took the F-5E Tiger II contruction plans and started modyfing some of the parts and remodeling the fuselage, wings and interior fuselage ompartments. The improvements were astonishing, even for the engineers from Northrop Grumman. The entire hull is composed of a titanium alloy coating a skeleton of carbon fibre and a steel/titanium alloy, making possible a high loadout both under the wings and fuselage.
General Electric improved the former engines of this plane replacing the injection system, using less parts and reducing the weight of the engines by using different materials. This improvements lets the engine develop more than 30% dry and wet thrust than before.
Also the avionics and the radar got modified enabling the use of the most air-air and air-ground-weapons. The radar used is the AN/APG-70V1.
This made necessary the removal of the left gun leaving the muzzle there for cooling purpose of the new and advanced electronic equipment. The right gun was replaced with a 20mm M61A1-Gatling Gun.
The "TacTiger" made its maiden flight on the 18th of October of 2011 and entered service in 2012.
The Upgrade Includes :
- AN/APG-70V1 AESA RADAR
- NEW AVIONICS
- ATFLIR TARGETING POD
- AN/ALQ-13 NAVIGATION POD
- IFF SYSTEM
- NEW ENGINES
- NEW FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
- ENHANCED FLIGHT MODEL
- JHMCS PILOT
- NEW ECM JAMMING SYSTEM
ARMAMENT :
- AIM-9X SIDEWINDER
- AIM-120C AMRAAM
- ALL GPS GUIDED BOMB TYPES
- GBU-12D PAVEWAY 500LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- GBU-24B PAVEWAY II 2000LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- AGM-65G MAVERICK TV GUIDED MISSILE
- L003 ECM JAMMING POD
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.

SF2_MiG19SK
By Stratos
The MiG-19SK by CAF team, 3d work by Cocas, skins by Nyghtfall, other work by Coupi, testing by Stratos, Coupi, Wrench, Nyghtfall.
Some Background:
After the success of the Soviet Union’s first carrier ship, the Moskva Class (Projekt 1123, also called „Кондор“/„Kondor“) cruisers in the mid 1960s, the country became more ambitious. This resulted in Project 1153 Orel (Russian: Орёл, Eagle), a planned 1970s-era Soviet program to give the Soviet Navy a true blue water aviation capability. Project Orel would have resulted in a program very similar to the aircraft carriers available to the U.S. Navy. The ship would have been about 75-80,000 tons displacement, with a nuclear power plant and carried about 70 aircraft launched via steam catapults – the first Soviet aircraft carrier that would be able to deploy fixed-wing aircraft.
Beyond this core capability, the Orel carrier was designed with a large offensive capability with the ship mounts including 24 vertical launch tubes for anti-ship cruise missiles. In the USSR it was actually classified as the "large cruiser with aircraft armament".
Anyway, the carrier needed appropriate aircraft, and in order to develop a the aircraft major design bureaus were asked to submit ideas and proposals in 1959. OKB Yakovlev and MiG responded. While Yakovlev concentrated on the Yak-36 VTOL design that could also be deployed aboard of smaller ships without catapult and arrester equipment, Mikoyan-Gurevich looked at navalized variants of existing or projected aircraft.
While land-based fighters went through a remarkable performance improvement during the 60ies, OKB MiG considered a robust aircraft with proven systems and – foremost – two engines to be the best start for the Soviet Union’s first naval fighter. “Learning by doing”, the gathered experience would then be used in a dedicated new design that would be ready in the mid 70ies when Project 1153 was ready for service, too.
Internally designated “I-SK” or “SK-01” (Samolyot Korabelniy = carrier-borne aircraft), the naval fighter was based on the MiG-19 (NATO: Farmer), which had been in production in the USSR since 1954.
Faster and more modern types like the MiG-21 were rejected for a naval conversion because of their poor take-off performance, uncertain aerodynamics in the naval environment and lack of ruggedness. The MiG-19 also offered the benefit of relatively compact dimensions, as well as a structure that would carry the desired two engines.
Several innovations had to be addresses:
- A new wing for improved low speed handling
- Improvement of the landing gear and internal structures for carrier operations
- Development of a wing folding mechanism
- Integration of arrester hook and catapult launch devices into the structure
- Protection of structure, engine and equipment from the aggressive naval environment
- Improvement of the pilot’s field of view for carrier landings
- Improved avionics, esp. for navigation
Work on the SK-01 started in 1960, and by 1962 a heavily redesigned MiG-19 was ready as a mock-up for inspection and further approval. The “new” aircraft shared the outlines with the land-based MiG-19, but the nose section was completely new and shared a certain similarity to the experimental “Aircraft SN”, a MiG-17 derivative with side air intakes and a solid nose that carried a. Unlike the latter, the cockpit had been moved forward, which offered, together with an enlarged canopy and a short nose, an excellent field of view for the pilot.
On the SK-01 the air intakes with short splitter plates were re-located to the fuselage flanks underneath the cockpit. In order to avoid gun smoke ingestion problems (and the lack of space in the nose for any equipment except for a small SRD-3 Grad gun ranging radar, coupled with an ASP-5N computing gun-sight), the SK-01’s internal armament, a pair of NR-30 cannon, was placed in the wing roots.
The wing itself was another major modification, it featured a reduced sweep of only 33° at ¼ chord angle (compared to the MiG-19’s original 55°). Four wing hardpoints, outside of the landing gear wells, could carry a modest ordnance payload, including rocket and gun pods, unguided missiles, iron bombs and up to four Vympel K-13 AAMs.
Outside of these pylons, the wings featured a folding mechanism that allowed the wing span to be reduced from 10 m to 6.5 m for stowage. The fin remained unchanged, but the stabilizers had a reduced sweep, too.
The single ventral fin of the MiG-19 gave way to a fairing for a massive, semi-retractable arrester hook, flanked by a pair of smaller fins. The landing gear was beefed up, too, with a stronger suspension. Catapult launch from deck was to be realized through expandable cables that were attached onto massive hooks under the fuselage.
The SK-01 received a “thumbs up” in March 1962 and three prototypes, powered by special Sorokin R3M-28 engines, derivatives of the MiG-19's RB-9 that were adapted to the naval environment, were created and tested until 1964, when the type – now designated MiG-SK – went through State Acceptance Trials, including simulated landing tests on an “unsinkalble carrier” dummy, a modified part of the runway at Air Base at the Western coast of the Caspian Sea. Not only flight tests were conducted at Kaspiysk, but also different layouts for landing cables were tested and optimized as well. Furthermore, on a special platform at the coast, an experimental steam catapult went through trials, even though no aircraft starts were made from it – but weights hauled out into the sea.
Anyway, the flight tests and the landing performance on the simulated carrier deck were successful, and while the MiG-SK (the machine differed from the MiG-19 so much that it was not recognized as an official MiG-19 variant) was not an outstanding combat aircraft, rather a technology carrier with field use capabilities.
The MiG-SK’s performance was good enough to earn OKB MiG an initial production run of 20 aircraft, primarily intended for training and development units, since the whole infrastructure and procedures for naval aviation from a carrier had to be developed from scratch. These machines were built at slow pace until 1965 and trials were carried out in the vicinity of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
FROM NOW ON IS MY WORK. STRATOS.
With the reception of the first new carrier in late 1965, the new aircraft began sea trials during the spring of 1966 and for summer the first planes were permanently deployed on board. The ship and it's planes began a cruise around the world doing good will port visits showing the flag and the new capabilities of the Soviet Navy. The carrier was permanently escorted by USN info gathering ships monitoring the capabilities of the new vessel and its air component.
The first real deployment with combat ocured in the Pacific Ocean in 1969, in a dare move, the carrier slipped into the Yellow Sea during the night and launched it's aircraft at first light, the planes strike several military facilities in China mainland, specially around Shangai, and the first A-A combat took place when a pair of SK's engaged intercepting J-6 of the PLAAF while escorting strike armed SK's. All the soviets returned to the carrier that was already steaming to get out of the South China sea trough Tsushima straits.
By early 1972, new models are being introduced into the fleet and the SK's started to show their age in the fast pace of aviation during Cold War, so as soon as the new models completed the air component the SK's were passed to train new naval pilots on the fleet training installations in Crimea, were it served with distinction until the last cells were too worn out to be safely operated beyond 1980.
So the SK's story came to an end with the honor of being the first real combat aircraft onboard soviet carriers, and the plane that first tasted the blood for carrier based pilots.

Martin XB-51 Panther
By Veltro2k
The Martin XB-51 was an American "tri-jet" ground attack aircraft. It was designed in 1945 and made its maiden flight in 1949. It was originally designed as a bomber for the United States Army Air Forces under specification V-8237-1 and was designated XA-45. The "A" ground attack classification was eliminated the next year, and the XB-51 designation was assigned instead. The requirement was for low-level bombing and close support. The XB-51 lost out in evaluation to the English Electric Canberra which entered service as the B-57.
