Ingame[]
The Skyhawk ingame is an AI aircraft that has a chance to spawn if a player picks up a Jet Air support box. Upon being spawned the Skyhawk will streak by and carpet bomb a certain area causing massive to anyone in that proximity without enemy players having enough reaction time. Note that shooting down the Skyhawk and all jets is possible.
