VHF-1 Fighter
Plural: VHF-1 Fighters
The Velocitech Harrier Fighter (commonly known as the Veritas fighter) is a futuristic technological marvel--today! The only down side is that it continually emits an irritating high-pitched tone when in operation--something about a very high frequency leakage. Otherwise, this miniaturized, single-seater fighter plane is snazzy enough to send even the most jaded of maverick top guns into a dreamy tailspin over the chance to fly it.
