When Cobra first started their Terror Drome project, one of the key features of said project was the Firebat interceptor mini-jet. At first glance, there seems nothing remarkable about the Firebat. Control-wise, you can't find any engine status readouts, navigation aids, you aren't even provided an ejection seat. Just the basic control panel, stick, pedals and weapons control.
It takes a special kind of pilot to overcome the lack of computer control and the sudden high-speed vertical take-off. A.V.A.C. pilots come from Cobra's Air-Viper pool and must be capable of getting around the limitations and controlling a mini-jet at extremely high speeds. The Firebat is not the best fighter jet but there is no lack of applicants for A.V.A.C. positions. It is said that taking off from the "Pocket Rocket" is the ultimate adrenaline rush.
