Laugh it up, Fuzzball!

The Millennium Falcon escapes from the Icy planet of Hoth....

Han Solo won the Falcon from fellow rogue Lando Calrissian in a hand of the card game sabacc.....Solo, in A New Hope, brags that the Falcon made the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs"

The Scenery is default - couldn't find anything appropriate really!
The Falcon i found here at SimV

Thanks for looking and i hope it counts, technically not an aircraft, but a spacecraft....Took me ages to think of this one, trust me! Just wish there had been some sort of familiar 'scenery' to set the scene so to speak. Good luck all

Now that's thinking outside the box Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
