JF-17 50mm Jef

Jef flies slow, Jef flies fast, Jef is maneuverable, Jef is fun to fly. :-)

The JF-17 isnt a very well known airframe, or at least by me until recently. I downloaded the JF-17 in my DCS world simulator and I found I really like the way it flies. Its a cross between a F16 and a F18. It has a wonderful blend of the two with the bonus of not cracking the intake when you land like the F16. All around its a great platform and fun to fly.
