IC: The second flight of the hypersonic jet, currently codename Light Thunder because the offical name has not been thought of yet, takes off again, this time with the true power of the engine revealed. It takes off only using 9/10 of the runway, with the power of rocket fuel used in the engines evident. It returns to normal power to pratice the weapons systems in-flight, because although they were similar to ones used on destroyers, anything could go wrong, as they were never tested at high speed.

It flys over to a cardboard test city, and fires off a few test guided bombs at subsonic speeds, and tests were obviously successful. It also fires it guns rather well. It then flies away and gains speed for the next run. Again, the guns and missile launcher work rather well at supersonic. It does another pass, this time at Mach 5. The missile launcher has small issues that are not easy to fix, but the guns work fine. Then it does one last pass at Mach 10, and is running on the rocket mode for the speed. the missiles go haywire, flying in almost any direction that is going down, the guns having a difficulty turning. One falls off when it turns perpendicular to the wind, and the side rocket launchers both fall off, causing havoc on the ground below, because they were the only ones with live ammunition.

The jet is slowed down, for the people controlling it at the ground station were worried it might also fall apart if it continued to stay at that speed. It glides for several miles to kill off some speed, then makes a landing on the runway, and stops only a few yards from the end.

OOC: further testing by the people flying it.
