About

Been wanting to make this for a while but never got to doing it, and here it is! I’m going to make this into the aircraft that would catch satellites from space on parachutes sitting the Cold War. I will make that version after this is posted, it will be the first attempt to gram a chute out o thin air in SimplePlanes, I plan on it.
