The McKenzie-Fergusson F2 Victor is a plane in Just Cause (1).

Appearance[]

It's the oldest aircraft in the game, but thanks to its good maneuverability it's one of the best. It resembles the P-51C Mustang, but with very different engines and armament. Some parts of it, like the vertical rudders, are completely original in design. Its statistics are similar to the Peek Airhawk 225 from Just Cause 2, as these two planes are very similar in size and performance. However, the latter is unarmed unless you mod it. This vehicle, even when it is unmarked, has two machine guns.

This is the predecessor of the Carmen Albatross from Just Cause 3, even though that plane is older than the McKenzie.

Performance[]

It's faster than the civilian planes (other than maybe the Stirling Jet Exclusive 9), but it's the slowest military plane. That and a lack of missiles means that it's not very useful as a weapon, but it's possibly the most maneuverable plane in the game. It's the closest thing to a stunt-plane in Just Cause (1).

The McKenzie-Fergusson F2 Victor is armed with only machine guns, which are pretty much useless against helicopters, because it's too difficult to aim and it's not fast enough to catch up to other military planes.

Engine[]

To the untrained eye, it may look as if it's powered by both a piston engine with a propeller and a jet engine, but it's really a "motorjet" engine. Those engines were temporarily used on some fighter aircraft up to the 1940's, before the "turbojet" engines became available.

Versions and locations[]

The San Esperitian Air Force will occasionally deploy the lighter gray F2 Victors during level 5 heat, but Ulysses-McCoy Redclouds are more commonly used, later completely taking over their roles.

The darker, unmarked version is never seen in use. It cannot be for civilians, because there's mention (in a small cutscene), that it's illegal for civilians to possess weapons and it could result in death or life imprisonment. It could function as a night fighter for the San Esperito Military.

Reportedly, in some game version, the Guerrilla variant replaces all military counterparts when the airfield/base is taken over, but again are never seen used.

Owner Color Locations
San Esperito Military Top: Pattern of different grays.
Bottom: Light gray.
  • El Crucero air base, north-west of Guerrilla 17 "Camp Jungle work" safehouse.
  • Rarely shows up to kill you if you use an attack helicopter to fight a government helicopter and you fly to a high-enough altitude. This is only in the beginning of the game. Ulysses-McCoy Redclouds start taking over their role later in the game.
Unmarked, unknown owner. Top: Pattern of different dark grays.
Bottom: Light gray.
Ejértico Revolucionario de Liberación Same as above.
  • At the above locations, once the military base (or province) is taken over for them. They're never seen in use however.
Black Hand Presumably a pattern of black and dark grey.



Trivia[]

  • World War II fighter pilots would paint certain symbols under their canopy to represent their kills. These symbols included the flag of the nation they fought against, or a depiction of an enemy vehicle exploding. The San Esperito Military variant has four San Esperito Military shield symbols just under the canopy, which is likely a nod to this.
    • However, by that logic, every pilot of the McKenzie-Fergusson F2 Victor only has four kills, no more, no less.
  • The successor to this vehicle is the Carmen Albatross in Just Cause 3.
