The fighter jet is a vehicle found throughout the wastelands.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The standard jet of the United States Air Force used a conventional all-metal airframe, with a slim low wing and tricycle landing gear. Six forward-facing machine guns were integrated in the fuselage, with space on the wings for an additional eight rockets or two bombs.[1] Manufactured by Lockreed Industries,[2] this jet fighter was the primary aircraft of the United States Air Force[3] and (in its navalized version, with folding wings) the United States Navy.[4][5]
Locations[edit | edit source]
- Several fighter jets appear on board the deck of Rivet City. These planes appear to be those of the Navy, with folding wings.
- A fixed-wing version can be found in Point Lookout at the jet crash site.
- Several fixed wing fighter jets can be found within some of the derelict hangers at Adams Air Force Base.
- One can also be seen suspended from the ceiling inside the Camp McCarran terminal building.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Fighter jets appear in Fallout 3, its add-ons Point Lookout and Broken Steel, and Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The fighter jet strongly resembles the P-80/F-80 Shooting Star and its variants, manufactured by the real world Lockheed Corporation.
