You'll note he only made it to 40,000 feet without that precious cargo of 20,000 lbs of high explosives?
See the red zero "0" ? That's how many bombs he has onboard.
Probably had no gas left, either.
P.S. Haven't been home yet to try it out, but I find it awesome that you can collapse the nose gear now! Definite step up in regards to the finer details HTC works on!
