The Arial Warfare division has finally completed their pet project. The took an old P-51 Mustang and converted it so it could be used in current battlefields. The new version, called the P-51S, is a high performance prop-plane with fairly heavy weaponry. The plane is taking up its old roll as a tank killer.
