The Hawker Hunter jet fighter first flew on July 20th, 1951. On September 7th, 1953, an improved prototype set a new air speed record, reaching 1,171 km/h (700 mph). The Hunter entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1954, and was subsequently used by more than 20 other countries. One of these was Rhodesia, later called Zimbabwe, which continues to use the Hunter to this day!
The Mitsubishi T-2, Japan’s first supersonic aircraft, first took to the skies exactly 20 years later, on July 20th, 1971. This was a training aircraft that Mitsubishi later developed into the F-1 combat fighter-bomber. The T-2 served for over 30 years from 1975 to 2006.

About this aircraft
- The T-2 Early is a plane for experienced pilots since it has no countermeasures. This means you’ll need to attempt to evade enemy missiles yourself. It does have a pulse-Doppler radar, allowing you to detect enemies in advance, air-to-air missiles and a powerful 20 mm cannon with 750 rounds of ammunition. For ground attack, you can take up to 500 lb and 750 bombs, plus Zuni and Mighty Mouse rockets!
When: From July 18th (11:00 GMT) until July 21st (11:00 GMT).

About this aircraft
- The Hunter FGA.9 is one of the best variants of the Hawker Hunter family, thanks to its better engine and access to AIM-9E air-to-air missiles. It’s not just strong as an attack aircraft, but also as a ground attack aircraft, carrying up to four 1,000 lb bombs, as well as AP Mk II, RP-3, HVAR or SNEB type 23 rockets.
The way to survive in modern society is to be an ascetic. It is to retreat from society. There’s too much society everywhere you go…The only solution is turn it off.
