If it hadn’t been built that way, parts would have cracked under the strain. I remember reading somewhere that the fuel used was the consistency of syrup, because it would flow well under those temps.

Favorite jet evar.

it looks sexy yeah? you should have seen them going down the air strip. they leaked fuel all the fuck over the place. Why? cause they couldn’t figure out how to make it not do that, and decided that it was best to just let it be.
