Agreed, that is something. However, if it can land weighing 1m pounds then that would be frickin' impressive

I'm sure it could land at a million pounds, now whether or not they could use it again.......that's another question.

Very cool, now just need Project Opensky to make one. That's got to limit the number of airports you can operate from, I wonder what max landing weight is.
