Auto Credit Based on Mudkip's Strategic Bomber Challenge

Controls: Use the right-hand slider to open the bomb bay before dropping bombs. Use the left-hand slider to activate air brakes. Bombs can be dropped as normal, or use group 6 to drop them all at once.

This is my second entry to the strategic bomber contest. I designed this as a modernised take on the British V-bombers (the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan). It has two large bomb bays (allowing it to carry double the payload required by the contest) and easily hits supersonic speeds. It has plenty of fuel to reach its target and return, and flies fast enough to have little trouble dodging the missiles from the ice base.
