    Flew this thing all the way to Krakabloa, destroyed the convoy and the Tiny 2's escorts all while under heavy fog, came in for a speedy night landing at Yeager Airport at 25-20% fuel and managed to split the plane in half when I slammed into a building... And the pilot survived with their seat and frame intact

    9.5/10 - needs brakes but is simple and fun to fly
