Plane: F117

 

In my opinion the F117 is the best plane for the Development Garrison Zone due to it's Construction, Research, Resource, Production and Troop Training Attributes.  It is also relatively easy to max those Attributes due to the low number of steps it has.  The F117 is also a good gathering plane due to it's Core Attribute of Energy.

Recommendation:

In order to get the F117 you have to spend money, however it's relatively inexpensive.  If you're patient, you can find it on sale for $5 US in Limited Sale.  Load it with the best Development gears you have and make sure to assign it to the Development Garrison Zone.

Recommended Gears:

If you are using the F117 in the Development Garrison slot as you should be, look to the following Gear Sets:

Where to get F117 Spare Parts:

If you do not have one yet, you can buy an F117 from the Plane Store in the Air Force Command Center for $20 US.  However, if you're patient, you should be able to find an F117 for sale in Limited Sale for $5:

 

There is also an F117 Part Selection Chest that allows you to pick one of the four F117 Spare Parts.

Plane Special Skills:

Plane Special Skills are buffs that can be activated manually and last for a limited time. They have a "cool-off" period (which is usually 24 hours, but might be less) such that they can only be used once until the cooldown period expires. Many of these are quite powerful, one-time buffs that can be activated for the next attack. These skills are only available when you have maxed out the specific Plane's Attribute.  To activate the Special Skill, go to the Battlefield Screen and click the icon in the lower-left corner with an officer hat and a plane: 

F117 has the Super Missile Special Skill which, when activated, temporarily Increases Damage to Toys, the Mad Scientist, and Fanatic Generals.

NOTE: You do not have to use the Plane that has the Special Skill in your march in order to reap the benefits of that skill, you only need to activate it.  Put another way, you can activate the Special Skill for one plane and use a different plane and still get the benefit of that Special Skill.  I have verified this.
