Deadline
Extended to whenever I can
How this will work
I will spawn at Wright final approach. I will not control the plane, but will turn on autopilot immediately (and turn on fast forward). Immediately before you crash, I will pause the game, save the spot as a location and record the distance from Wright Final
Physics: High
No wind
I will not control it at all

@Exumer theres no runway at maywar
@Armyguy1534 Umm, quick question... I was testing out a new glider, what if we fly all the way to Krakabloa and the plane at the end of the runway at Maywar despawns?
@Exumer I'll see
Since we seem to be rolling back to the old challenges here, I suggest your next challenge to be a fighter challenge. No missiles tho, just guns. A test of maneuverability and design. I love entering these kinds of design challenges!
