AVRO Arrow MKV

Auto Credit Based on SpaceSkunks's AVRO Arrow MKII

The final attempt at a full scale version of the AVRO Arrow. A cancelled Canadian jet interceptor designed in the 1950s. It flys fairly well but can loose control rapidly at high speeds.
To learn about Canada's dream the CBC made a 2 part movie (with alot of the lore of the story written in). You can watch it on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PMnlnqRex4

In game I took it to 50000ft 1450mph and flew it for about 30 minutes and still had lots of fuel. It's fun to just set it on auto pilot and let it cruise.
