The Firestorm is a supersonic, all-weather, day/night bomber capable of speeds nearing mach 2 at altitudes ranging from 10,000 feet up to 90,000 feet. Its maximum speed is still supersonic at sea level, however it is much lower than at higher altitudes. It's also meant to have an internal bomb bay, however this isn't functional in game. The engines proved to be a huge pain in the rear end to get into place and will clip through the wings if you pull up sharply. However, if you're gentle on the controls, as you would be in real life if you were flying a bomber (high G-forces would likely damage or even tear off the wings in real life) they should stay relatively still. Activation group 1 turns on the lights. Activation group 2 unlocks landing gear steering (not recommended for takeoffs and landings.)
