Arion Mk 2 Plane with boost capability!

[Cobalt60]

The purpose of the Arion was to test if I could build an SSTO. I didn't. However, the little rockomax engines on the back worked pretty well as a boost, like afterburners on a fighter jet. This is how the first test flight went, due to my utter ineptitude at flying and landing a plane.

Just going out for a test flight of the Arion Mk 2 with my friend Genesby Kerman! The Arion is supposed to be an SSTO. However, I only got to 14,000m before I ran out of fuel on the rocket engines. Well, now it's going to be an SSTC (Single Stage To Continent). Ok, running low on jet fuel as I finally spot a coast in the distance. Land ho! We won't run out of fuel over the ocean. Now be careful with the landing, Genesby.

Be gentle. Gentle! GENTLE! Oh no...

So everything but the pilot and copilot cabins have been destroyed. Oh, joy. He seems pretty indifferent about the whole thing considering I said I'd rescue him "When I get around to it"
