Skipperbing's bell X1 with a little hypersonic kick. Highest altitude i've flown is 57,000ft top speed is 1600mph. Also i've added detacher wing struts coutesy of Thomasjaf so the wings don't break off. To fly: detach1, QUICKLY throttle to 100,and have fun. This thing is so fast, that when i tried to land it, it blew up. (Landing speed 549mph!!!) If anyone can land it on the north runway(NO FINAL APROACH CHEATING) I'll give you a 5 star rating on 3 of your planes, and a nice comment too.

    Oh by the way, I couldn't land it, but given a fair few tires I'd say it's possible.

    Nicely done chap. Just had a go with this. The design is on point totally. For me it was a little unwieldy at first, but every plane is different and once it got going I got the hang of it. Seemed to break up on sharp maneuvers (to be expected given how crazily fast it is) so lowered the graphics and it stayed solid. Like your style sir.
