• Full throttle

• Activate 2 to engage "Starboost" (jet pack)
The sooner you pitch forward, the easier it will be.
The Mk39 "Starboost" or "Gemini" armor.
Equipped with a high power jet pack (Activate 2) and additional stabilization.
It features thrusters meant to fuction in thinner atmospheres, encountered at higher altitudes, than any other model. The exhaust tails will fade some but you will not lose thrust when attempting to leave the atmosphere.

I removed the cockpit view on the Mk39 in order to maintain a more accurate speed reading, as this model is much faster.
I have also addressed the fuel problem for everyones extended enjoyment.

Mk39 will easily reach cruising speeds of 4000+ mph (ma 5.25) at high altitude and, with time, can reach speeds in excess of 7000 mph (ma 9.2) However it is most fun to fly at high speed, at low altitude.
