Designed as the most modern and robust bomber aircraft of its era, it held vast potential. Capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, too, the AJ-2 Savage was more than a generic bomber aircraft.

It was a versatile attack aircraft that was capable of striking from a long-range distance. In the time that it was part of the military aviation of the US (the 1950s until the 1960s), it was a crucial part of the Cold War. Indeed, the AJ-2 Savage played a key role in helping to quell issues taking place in South Korea and beyond. Given that this was pre-all-jet aircraft, it was a very important step in the right direction.

Without the AJ-2 Savage, we might never have seen the advancements that we have in the years since. With pilots capable of flying this high-end attack bomber in FSX, you can now see what the fuss was about. Designed to be similar to the real thing in shape and in performance, this follows realistic flight dynamics.

Now, virtual pilots within FSX can use this for anything from bombing runs to reconnaissance and refuelling. As one of the most important aircraft of the 1950s, the AJ-2 Savage opened the doors for countless innovations. You can now see why, despite its aged profile today, the Savage was once widely respected among the best aircraft of its style worldwide.
