Ford Sparrow
|
An unusually successful example of a very common type of craft in Crimson Skies; the retrofitted civilan craft. Originally designed to be a civilian racing plane, the Sparrow was discovered to have all the charactersitics required of a military design. As demand for fighting aircraft soared, the manufacturer, Ford quickly realised they had a seller, and released the Sparrow in a factory-built armed model.
