The Mitsubishi T-2, Japan’s first supersonic aircraft, first took to the skies exactly 20 years later, on July 20th, 1971. This was a training aircraft that Mitsubishi later developed into the F-1 combat fighter-bomber. The T-2 served for over 30 years from 1975 to 2006.

About this aircraft

  • The T-2 Early is a plane for experienced pilots since it has no countermeasures. This means you’ll need to attempt to evade enemy missiles yourself. It does have a pulse-Doppler radar, allowing you to detect enemies in advance, air-to-air missiles and a powerful 20 mm cannon with 750 rounds of ammunition. For ground attack, you can take up to 500 lb and 750 bombs, plus Zuni and Mighty Mouse rockets!
