Entrant into RMark1's Tactical Bomber Challenge. The (illegitemate and ugly) love child of the SR-71 Blackbird and XB-70 Valkyrie, this aircraft was built to fly fast and high. Though modestly fast (with no power mods) the engines tend to be thirsty. This means to make it to Snowstone and back (for the challenge) you will need to fly above 10000 ft and cut back on the power. AG8 will deactivate 2 of the 6 engines. I suggest cutting back to 60% power as well to conserve fuel even more. Upon arrival to Snowstone, your best bet is to come in high and fast- Open the Bomb bay (VTOL Up)- drop the bomb (AG1)- hard bank to the south and they'll never come close to hitting you witht he SAM's. As for the enemy fighters- AG2 while the bomb bay is open will lower the Air to Air pod. You have 2x interceptors and 1x Guardian to defend yourself. Again, speed and hard banks are your friend- but don't get into a knife fight. Most fighters will be able to out turn you everyday. There is a camera mounted inthe bomb bay on the bombariers chair- make sure you don't VTOL down past neutral- the doors will contact the payload and 'splode. Good luck.

    Yeah, what you could do is put a boom 25 inside the actual bomb and have a camera on the boom 25. A boom 50 would be better, but still, try doing that.@jlewisifer
