Problem is that you burn through the cost of the airplane in fuel after 10 hours.

Post by: Tupac on August 30, 2010, 10:23:06 PM: Maybe if we all pooled our resources.........We could have enough money to taxi it around the airport.

Post by: Plawranc on August 30, 2010, 11:49:50 PM: Hey maybe we could sell the idea to Skuzz, that to cover some of the running costs for the new Owner. We could Advertise Aces High 2 on the aircraft. You know, ultra fast Jet and Pilot support multiplayer flight sim.

"Hitech Creations - Keeping the dream alive"

You know, put it on the logo. Just a thought.

Suddenly you get airtime at every major hub of aviation enthusiasts around the USA.

I prefer the Viggen. But wasn't the Draken in development started in 49? It was a concept way ahead of it's time.
