So my cable and internet went down for four hours the other day, and since SP is the only game that I am able to play (that I own) without logging in or being online.
Here is the result:

The Blue and Grey is a VTOL attack fighter with the versatility to carry bombs, rockets or missiles.
Arm it as the mission requires.
Standard armament is 4 mini-guns and counter measures.

Takeoff procedure:
VTOL takeoff, throttle to at least 70%,

Fly with pitch, roll, trim and yaw.

Once you have achieved enough elevation, activate AG1,
Throttle up,
once over 200 mph AG8 may be disabled to shut off the VTOL engine and the Gyroscope.
Fly with pitch, roll, trim and yaw.

AG1 + throttle is forward,

AG2 + VTOL slider up is afterburner,

AG8 is the VTOL engine and the Gyroscope.

Deactivating AG1 and AG2 deactivates the engines.

Blue and Grey is able to land anywhere, land or sea.
