KittyHawk

The preferred craft of the skytopian postal service, this little guy will get those local deliveries there in a nudge faster than expected.

The KittyHawk is a single-engine monoplane designed as a courier craft. It was first used by the Commonwealth's Sky Mail to carry letters and packages from skyland to skyland, the first universal mail service in Skytopia's history.

Fighting in the KittyHawk
This little guy's a bucket of fun for his tier, having a crew seat and a front and rear gun. Granted, they're just small arcs, but we aren't exactly talking Leviathans and Ingersolls here. It even has a nice cargo size, being in the Trading planes. The KittyHawk's silhouette is deceptive, and you're actually pretty hard to hit. You may be slow, but this allows you to shoot Thors and other such things as they come rushing up from behind and when they blow past, shoot them again. This setup can also discourage other planes from lurking behind you and shooting continually.

Fighting the KittyHawk
Again, the silhouette of this plane is deceptive, as it'll rarely take a hit without good accuracy. However, its guns aren't the strongest, so come in from its unprotected sides and take advantage of its slowness. If you can get it to fly in circles around you, then you can turn slowly alongside it and shoot.
