State Aircraft Works SAW-9

The SAW-9 was the first Ebelinian jet to attain supersonic speed in level flight. It was used in the hundreds in the 1950s and '60s. A handful survived to see combat on both sides in the Ebelinian Revolution. After the revolution, however, the SAW-9 has been confined to museum exhibits.
