WM-12 Pathfinder

"I have created a monster". These are the words George Macmillan spoke when he showed his designs to his partner. Nathan had always been the more reserved of the two, preferring to create practical and efficient aircraft. George, on the other hand, was obsessed with breaking records. The fastest, the slowest, the highest, the biggest and the smallest. He went from one extreme to the other trying to push the boundaries of aviation, and as much as Nate hated to admit it, his inclinations are what put the Wessier-Macmillan design bureau on the map. The Pathfinder was their first major headline, but it wouldn't be their last.

The Pathfinder was originally developed as an all purpose frontline bomber, but it's massive size and numerous blind spots lost it a contract with the military. To promote their business and raise money to save them from the project, the Pathfinder was flown all around the world in airshows as a staple of just what was possible.

Open bomb bay doors with AG-2 and VTOL up. If you vtol down, the doors will swing up into the bombs and... you'll find out what it's like to fly at the speed of light.
