    Anyone else yearn to live in a fantasy setting where they could get a plane like this and go from airfield to airfield living as a traveling trader?

      😂 I think that’s a cool idea; but I reckon the running cost in fuel alone, without maintenance, would make this implausible.

        There’s a Mr. Fusion on board to power the retrofitted pulse engines. Which is a good thing, since all the nanobots that nonstop repair the airframe take about half the energy produced (the engines taking the other half, of course).

        Just remember to chuck a couple Cyberdyne Model-101 skeletons in the fuel chamber and you’re good for another year or so.

      Is this like a high fantasy setting or a more sci-fi one. I’ve had this for the former. Though with a number of different vehicles.
