Auto Credit Based on Forwind's The Forwind seal of quality Challenge

A modified version of the first plane I uploaded. This plane is more than up to the task. Won't have much fuel to spare, but as long as you keep the throttle around 75% there should be plenty for the trip. I've tested it on aircraft carrier landings, and she does it just fine. Just make sure to use those air brakes and get your airspeed down around 65mph or less before hitting the deck.

HAPPY FLYING!

    Description is very modest. Was able to go from south runway to north runway to carrier and back to south runway with 57% fuel remaining and a cruising speed of ~340 mph
