Clone Navy begins K45K flights

The Clone Navy now have 3 K45K Falcons and have begun test flights of their new fighter. Following a basic land-based flight test series (as much for pilot training more than anything else) the Clone Naval Air Service will begin carrier tests with the K45K from mid-October.

By the end of the year the CNAS hope to have sufficient K45Ks to form the first operational unit though full carrier operations are not expected to begin until late 2114.

• CNAS has also placed an order for a further 5 K72M Mustang reconnaissance aircraft and 8 more ZK26SWNG Halogen helicopters.
