Fighter jet

The fighter jet is a vehicle found throughout the wastelands.

Characteristics
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. Manufactured by Lockreed Industries, this jet fighter was the primary aircraft of the United States Air Force and (in its navalized version, with folding wings) the United States Navy.

Locations

 * 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
Fighter jets appear in Fallout 3, its add-ons Point Lookout and Broken Steel, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
The fighter jet strongly resembles the P-80/F-80 Shooting Star and its variants, manufactured by the real world Lockheed Corporation.
