| I'd say Cape Caneveral AFS skid strip, and Edwards A.F.B. would be two in the U.S. :) |

WOW! IT REALLY DID FLY!
Edwards afb works fine, too. Did for me at least. Full throttle, nothing happens, but then suddenly JUST as the tug was going to taxi(drive? fly? how should i know it's a towing tractor for christ's sake) off the runway's far end it pointed it's nose up. Take-off!
Can't say it flew like an extra 300 though. Actually it was almost not possible to steer it. Rudder worked fine, but not aileron or elevator. didn't react at all when i tried to bank.
But now... when i shut the engine down, it kept on flying! As if the rest wasn't mysterious already... and I wanted to bring her down.
It turned out that when i pulled on the stick she would point her nose down and then up and when i pushed it did the opposite, thus losing speed and height. Still it took some time to get the hang of it...and at last, i managed to crash it!
