Instructions: Save this after downloading. Then, fly another aircraft and spawn this at any in-air location or even Water Takeoff. It will cruise at 160 knots (which is a good landing speed for many light fighters) and will slowly increase its altitude up to 1000 meters. When it reaches 1000 meters it will maintain altitude (though it isn't 100% stable, can vary from 993 to 1007 meters). When landing, maintain 160-180 knots airspeed and try to touch down as gently as possible. After touching down, immediately engage the brakes.
This thingie isn't very sensitive to wind, so you can land on it in windy conditions.

Colibri-class is the smallest class of airborne aircraft carriers (AAC) of the US Navy. USS Gerald Ford II is the first Colibri-class AAC and the first AAC in the world. It was built to refuel light and low-range fighters mid-flight. Its runway is 100 meters long and 25 meters wide, which is enough for small fighter jets. It can't store aircraft, as it is only for refueling (to actually refuel aircraft in the game you need the Refueling mod, but I'm on mobile and I can't have any mods, so don't expect actual refueling).

Have fun!
