FS2002/FS2004 North American AT-6G Texan. The T-6 Texan was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft designed by North American Aviation, used to train fighter pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II. The T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The USAAC called it the "AT-6", the US Navy, the "SNJ", and the Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard. It remains a popular warbird aircraft.

FS2002/FS2004/CFS2 Seafire F./F.R. XVII, F.R.17. Development work with the third prototype Seafire XV, NS493, led to a new aircraft, designated Mk. XVII, Type 384. The main changes were the adoption of the rear-view fuselage and modified hood, a strengthened undercarriage with a longer stroke for the oleo legs, a sting-type hook as standard on all models and fittings without exception for RATOG apparatus. Thus the XVII was merely an improved XV. The Mk. XVII appeared in 1945, too late for active war service, reaching squadron service in September that year with No. 883 Squadron. It followed the Mk. XV on production, but due to cancelled orders in 1945, production was limited to 212 by Westland and 20 by Cunliffe-Owen. All were produced as purely naval fighters, but in March 1947 a few were modified to accommodate one vertical and one oblique F.24 camera, and these aircraft were designated F.R. XVII. Not until November 1954, after serving for many years with the Naval Reserve Squadrons, was the XVII finally withdrawn from service.

FS2002/FS2004 Lockheed X-35B / F-35. This is an aircraft that participates in the JSF plan that the United States and Britain jointly develop the attack fighter for the next term. X-35A, CTOL, of the conventional take-off and landing type, X-35C, CV, of the type of loading onto warship, and X-35C, STOVL, of the short field take-off vertical landing type were developed. X-35B was developed by repairing X-35A. X-35B generates the buoyancy by the shaft drive type lift fan at the center of the body in addition to the varying type engine exhaust. As a result, a steadier hovering and vertical takeoff and landing are enabled.
