The F-27 Stryker is the fictitious aircraft capable of space travel at faster than light speeds, featured in the Diane Romanelli short story “Instead.” The Stryker bears a strong resemblance to a 1950's early jet fighter, the F7U Cutlass, but is much bigger.
The F-27 Stryker landed on a dying planet as part of its scientific mission to explore other civilizations. Its crew perished when they left the safety of the aircraft and were eaten by wild animals.
The Stryker is discovered by one of the planet's natives while he is far away from his village, searching for food. While exploring the aircraft he accidentally actuates the controls and it transports him to a beautiful uninhabited planet where the climate is ideal and food and water are plentiful.
The hero gets back into the F-27 Stryker and again activates the controls whereby it flies him back to his home planet. There he tells his people of the discovery. They board the Stryker and head back for the newly discovered planet.
On the way to the planet, they encounter an alien space ship that attacks the Stryker.
The hero at the controls of the F-27 pushes buttons in the cockpit until the Stryker fires lasers and torpedoes, disabling the alien craft enabling the Stryker to escape.
The F-27 Stryker finally makes it to the new planet where they all live happily ever after.
