Stonk Air's line-up

Two props, two helicopters, three jets

Each drawn from the model you'll fly. The props forgive; the jets are fast and need room; the helicopters land anywhere flat.

Props

Common
Paper Hands CubProp plane · 270 km/h · up to 300 mPrices at the Stonk Air deskHigh wing, low stakes. It forgives everything except the ground.
Uncommon
Junk Bond BiplaneBiplane · 306 km/h · up to 300 mPrices at the Stonk Air deskHigh yield, high risk. Loops, rolls and a smoke trail to prove it.

Helicopters

Uncommon
Hedge HopperHelicopter · 270 km/h · up to 200 mPrices at the Stonk Air deskLow, nimble and it parks on any flat patch. It hedges every corner.
Rare
Blue Chip ChopperHelicopter · 324 km/h · up to 250 mPrices at the Stonk Air deskBoard meetings at two hundred metres. Lands on any plaza in town.

Jets

Epic
Golden ParachuteBusiness jet · 495 km/h · up to 450 mPrices at the Stonk Air deskHowever it ends, you land softly. Private, quick and very shiny.
LegendaryLimited
Short SqueezeFighter · 648 km/h, 810 on the burner · up to 600 mPrices at the Stonk Air desk100 madeOne hundred made. When the shorts cover, it goes straight up.
LegendaryLimited
Bailout JumboAirliner · 450 km/h · up to 450 mPrices at the Stonk Air desk25 madeTwenty-five made. Too big to fail, too big to park anywhere but the airport.

Prices in chips and what's left are the hangar's own, live.

Buy or rent

Yours for good, or yours for a while

Bought: your colour, for good

Rented: Stonk Air's livery

Question	Buy	Rent
How long	For good: one of each model	A pass for 15 minutes from when you rent
Its colour	The one you pick, kept for good	Stonk Air's cream with the brass stripe
Crash it	Free, as often as you like	Free, while the pass runs
Limits	The limited editions sell out	One pass a model at a time, 20 passes a day
Refunds	None	None

Both are paid in chips, and both are the takings of Stonk Air (AIR) on the Stonk Exchange. Bonus chips are spent first on a pass and on an ordinary aircraft; a limited edition takes your own chips only. You can run passes on several models at once to try them.

Planes and helicopters

Where each can land

Question	Planes	Helicopters
Take off	The runway, or any airfield pavement long enough	Anywhere: climb straight up
Land	On the airfield only: wheels down, wings level, gently	Any flat ground: a plaza, a street, a park
A rooftop	A crash	You can perch, but not get out
Get out	Stopped on the ground: E	Landed and still: E

The aircraft stays parked where you got out. Press E by it to fly again; left untouched for 10 minutes it goes back to the hangar. Put it away any time from the Hangar.

Crashing

Anything that isn't a landing is a crash

Clip a tower, touch down too hard, land a plane in the street or ditch in the sea and it blows up. Nobody gets stuck: you're back on foot outside the terminal and the aircraft is back in its hangar.

Crashing is free. You can get one out again 10 seconds later.
