Hey this is the one where the pilot has to choose the exact right moment to fold the whole thing in half and if they fuck up it explodes and kills everyone onboard
It's an entirely manual fight, it's kinda impressive. But it also means if you fold at the wrong time your dead like you mentioned. Happened in 2014.
