OOC: Bump. :) Buy my aircraft!

I'm not familiar with pulse-detonation jet engines, but isn't 2500 thrust a bit low?...eh, what the heck, I don't have any A-10s...I'll take 200 TC-4s. $2.5 billion wired on confirmation.

Very few engines actually have as much thrust as the plane itself weighs. The F-15 is a notable exception.

Purchase is confirmed.

OOC: Buy more planes! :)
