KASA F-105 SPARROW

 

This glorious (But rather old) plane is the F-105 Sparrow, the oldest of the 2 Atmospheric fighters used by the KASA (Kerbin Aeronautic Security Agency). Powered by 1 Panther engine, this craft is sleek, fast, and streamlined, making it a perfect candidate for training and exhibition purposes. The plane served in World War K (The bloodiest war known to kerbal-kind (More on that in The Final Stand hehe); basically the equivalent of WW2), being used for either air combat (Variant A) or bombing runs (Variant B). Now, 20 years later, the craft is still being used for both exhibition battles (Similar to how Boxers spar with their opponent to get better) as well as training pilots that are in their later stages of training due to the planes intense nature and handling.
