I brought this baby to the North Pole and back; i kind of wasted some fuel in the first leg and had only enough fuel for a good landing at the pad but not even a turn-around. It flies like a dream but has a funny 20degree AoA at altitude wich is no real problem. I had the pleasure of having to rely on the position of Minnus and the Sun when flying near the pole to keep my orientation; otherwise i would have gone lost and never made it back. The entire flight lasted 1hr and 48 minutes.

Here are some things i noted could be fixed:

- We clearly need more and brighter, more distinct stars.

- The runway needs to be way longer and wider. It also desperately need night landing lights!! I just don\'t risk landing on the runway as landing on the ground is just as well

- WE NEED MORE INSTRUMENTS! Please!! XD

Does anyone know what the land distance record for an airbreathing aircraft is?

I believe it is 73,000 miles, but I may be wrong.

Wow. At what speed was that?
