******************************************************************

        This aircraft was designed by request for a friend of mine
   who has great interest in this project.  Thru much speculation,
   I have designed my version of this aircraft from many drawings
   provided to me from books, magazines, and television shows.....

        The exsistance of this aircraft has not been verified, but
   many sightings have been reported by eyewitnesses throughout
   the world.  Sightings have appeared to resemble the XB-70 from
   a distance....
   
        It is speculated that this aircraft is Hyprsonic, and may
   contain UFO technology.  The aircraft's mission is beieved to be
   photo/recon.  Perhaps a replacement for the SR-71....

        Based on this belief, my AURORA travels VERY FAST, and has 
   approach speeds VERY SLOW.....

** Checklists **

        Take-off:  

                  -  Immediately apply brakes

                  -  NO flaps required

                  -  Make setup corrections (views, enviroments, etc..)

                  -  Release brakes, as aircraft begins rolling, apply
                     full power

                  -  HOLD ON!!!!

                  -  Upon rotation, pull power back to 1 - 4 levels above 
                     idle, retract gear

        Landing:

                  -  Prepare well in advance

                  -  5 mile final minimum (suggested)

                  -  Full flaps, spoilers on
                  
                  -  Idle power approach

                  -  Chop power (1 - 4 units above idle) to maintain
                     80 - 100 kts approach speed  (Stall speed aprox 60 Kts)

                  -  After touchdown, cut power, watch aircraft auto
                     brake systems take effect!!

                  -  Prior to runway turn-off, apply neccesary wheel 
                     braking
