F-129C was the most successful SKDB aircraft ever built: it reached more than 6 thousand subscribers on Steam Workshop. It’s my favorite plane too. However, it wasn’t good at speed. 900 meters per second is too slow in KSP, right?

Ahem… uh… where do i start from… i did not sleep until 3 AM… okay…
yawn
We don’t want to be slow, so we built a new jet based on F-129 - the F-129I, our fastest jet fighter! Improved aerodynamics, bigger fuel tanks, and the maximum speed of 1600+ m/s! Not enough for you? Well, what if i tell you that you can turn at this speed without exploding into small pieces? Up to 211G overload, no damage. You’re not a Flanker-C anymore, now everyone should call you the Foxhound! Of course, this plane has worse maneuverability than original, but it’s a high altitude interceptor, not a dogfighter. And yes, it has ACM, or Aircraft Control Module, so you can control the plane when your pilot is unconscious due to 160G turn, or without the pilot at all.

Just like with F-129C, here is a small tip to make your flights more comfortable: in the game settings, find an option Aerodynamic FX quality (under Video & Graphics), and set it to Minimal. This will remove all these epic re-entry flames, leaving only orange glow. This will greatly improve FPS, and fire won’t hide the plane from your eyes.

Also, try to avoid sharp turns when your fuel is less than 250 units. With less weight, the plane becomes more maneuverable, and there is a chance that it won’t survive such high G.
