History:
In the early 50s, while the world was recovering from World War II, the Mexican State developed the first transonic aircraft named the FA-137 and they had been spotted routinely to be flown in to official Pacific airspace. In response Boeing was tasked with the creation of a counter to the FA-137. 3 designs had been proposed, but only one had been made into a working prototype; that being the YA-13. In a desire to fast-track the process from testing to implementation, Boeing Chairman Clairmont L. Egtvedt was bribed by the official government to skip over "non-important tests" in order for production to begin quickly. Produced from 1953-1958 over 350 of the A-13s were produced with exports including: Republic of New England, Saudi Arabia, and the Australian Empire. Use of these fighter-bombers in the "Pacific intervention in Panama" allowed the Air Corp to destroy 32 imported MiG-15s as well as 46 armored vehicles in return for only 5 shot down out of the 50 total sent. By 1965 a majority had been taken out of front line duty with the more specialized A-15 coming into service. The last of the A-13s were officially taken out of service by 1982 were they had been used as trainers, however at least 5 have been spotted to be in use in the 1992 Irani Civil War.

Please refer to Shipbucket help on how to post images.
It is good that you use imgur, but when posting an image copy the BBcode and not just the image link, if you want your image to appear here.
Oh, and BTW welcome aboard, and I think your little fighter is a nice one, a good 1950's jet fighter.
