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

I've enjoyed this one. I take off from south airfield at 100% throttle, at 80mph I lift off and pitch up 60 degrees. with gear up i climb, slowly leveling off around 6000ft heading toward the northern airfield over the trench at 45% throttle. It pitches up 30 degrees at full throttle. I designed it for short runways. 1 for ecternal tank and 2 for "guns." I've done the trip at 40% throttle, cruising for a total trip of 10 minutes at an average of 250mph. Please let me know what Y'all think.

    Also the air brakes force the nose up. I landed on the USS Jundroo and stopped by the beginning of the white stripes for the launch area. I allowed the speed of the ship to push me back to the middle of the ship and took off with room to spare.
