The Cri-Cri is an awsome and Fast little plane - but yea no class against a couple of thousand pounds per square inch of thrust.

Yes you do s023

But still no comparrison to that beast standing next to it :!:
The Cri-Cri will be the quickest out the blocks and maybe it will out run it in initial take off and first to the end of the runway but after that . . . . . . (**)
