What Is RonTom? The authors are two "Old Timers" with a passion for aviation and a penchant for telling stories.

With the Darkstar for MSFS 2020 you can fly at Mach 10, or ten times the speed of sound. This is so much faster than any plane we're more familiar with it's hard to envision just what this kind of speed is like. Well, imagine no more as thecorporatepilotdad has created this video of the Darkstare at Mach 10 from a variety of angles.
It's always nice to find a reviewer who actually has familiarity with the real-world subject involved.
