OOC: If you're going to cut and paste RL designs and call them your own (which is fine), at least make sure the text is consistent. In your stat block for the F/A-30 it references the F-35. I'd also erase the pic descriptions to which there are no pictures.

Example:

OOC: Did you even bother to read what I said? It's fine to cut and paste RL stats but at least clean them up to where they make sense.
