Sky Ghost
“Ever since he’d been here in this other place, he’d been able to tap his ability to fly just about any kind of aircraft he’d been faced with.
From the Pogo to the Mustang Jet to test-flying the Bomber Gunship, Hunter had been able to climb in, take a look at the instruments, and go.

Plus, he’d be doing it with a terribly overloaded takeoff weight, assuming, of course, that he could get it off the ground at all.
