As near as I can get to recreating the first plane to break the sound barrier. Flies great (though only to a top speed of 430 mph level) I will attempt a supersonic version soon.

    There is one modified version that is supersonic but the wings shear off at those speeds haha. But feel free to mod as long as I'm credited.

    Don't worry I will modify this plane to make it faster if I get your permission
