It truly did. I had named it something completely different while building, this name came to me in a flash just before uploading @TakicraftCorporation
@EternalDarkness I wonder how many people will get the name... As for testing, it's pretty much the same as any of my hover-builds, just in a different package. One difference is that the guns are angled down by 2 degrees, to make it easier to hit ground/sea targets without having to come down almost to zero feet.
Great shape, and flies/functions well. Remarkably well done, but you're not presenting it well enough. First of all, the camera is too zoomed out in the thumbnails. Try to zoom in so the aircraft fills most of the view. Second, try a more eye-catching color scheme. This deserves a lot more upvotes.
@breitling It could be, I imagined it as either unmanned or with a cockpit deep within the fuselage, with displays hooked up to external cameras/sensors.
Thanks, @Stingray. Yeah, I recommend AG2 to be kept off most of the time anyway. It's only supposed to be used for special maneuvers, like sharp turns.
"Your mission, James, is to infiltrate the research facility at Bilyarsk, and... retrieve... their hypersonic fighter prototype, and fly it back to England. It's a two-seater, but don't take that as an excuse to bring back one of those Slavic blondes you like so much."
"Go to Russia, shteal a plane. Yesh, shur.... How about a brunette, though?"
@Irobert55 I heard a different story. They asked someone if they thought their band would fly, and he said "like a lead zeppelin."
Nice, @Thederpingmemes
@BaconRoll what's the difference between a clever strategy and a Scottish family that likes wordplay? One's a cunning plan...
You got it, @doge
Are made of lead? @RailfanEthan
Glad you think so, @CrossfireDynamics
@Treadmill103 would you say it skidded like a... sled?

Thanks for noticing, @Cream
Heh @CeeToTheZee
Yep @GermanWarMachine @Jetpackturtle
Thanks, @chancey21

@breitling Possibly, though most pilots would find it very hard to rely entirely on high tech, because if it failed you'd be blind.
@KSPFSXandSP Yeah, it's all fun and games and pretty fireworks in the sky until the sparks touch your ship and it explodes...
@Mustang51 True, I didn't notice.

+1Nice lines.
@123Planebuilder How about you make the B-52, and I make the bomb pod?
@Jetpackturtle I had to look that up. That looks really bland and boring to me, sorry.
Thanks, @Treadmill103. Very un-aerodynamic, but it looks cool, hmm?
@F104Deathtrap Thank you. I call it Jeet Brawn Do, "the Way of the Scripting Fist."
+1@breitling It could be, I imagined it as either unmanned or with a cockpit deep within the fuselage, with displays hooked up to external cameras/sensors.
Thanks, @Bugamashoo
@123Planebuilder A B-52 with a bomb-launching pod, you mean?
Here's the missile pod.
What was the carpet bomber thing again? I already have a carpet bomber.
@123Planebuilder
@Bugamashoo Nope, I just don't have the time, unfortunately.
@123Planebuilder What were the things you requested, again?
Thanks, @Ben1739
Thanks, @Ephwurd
Your skill is outstanding. Great work.
+9@EternalDarkness Well, I guess I've made plenty of low part count builds, anyway. I plan to develop this style further.
Thanks, @EternalDarkness. Yeah, but look at the part count -- almost no one can download it.
Thanks, @Stingray. Yeah, I recommend AG2 to be kept off most of the time anyway. It's only supposed to be used for special maneuvers, like sharp turns.
@BaconRoll Well, you know how it is, take a day off, miss a SledDriver post.
@ACMECo1940 It does that to me as well.
Interesting twist on the Valkyrie.
Thanks, @phanps
Thanks, @spefyjerbf. Yeah, I kept the canopy simple to keep part count down.
@Z3RO I was never into either of those, but I'm glad this reminds you of them.
@CenturiVonKikie Yeah, something like that.
Thanks, @Bugamashoo

"James...."
"I'll be on my way then."
+1@phanps Only if you like them, though. :)
@phanps I meant, now that you mention it, I am getting close to 100K, thanks to my stalwart supporters. They may be few, but they're all I need.
Thanks, @JangoTheMango and @ThomasRoderick
@phanps Now that you mention it...
Thanks, @Treadmill103. You know, this series of builds was inspired in part by your designs.
@Rugpeersdude Sure thing, you have some excellent builds.
Yeah, I've been wondering what happened to you.
