The next two pages then give details on the specific plane the scenario uses—the Tarrant Tabor. While being a real plane, it never saw commercial use due to a failed test-run, so this scenario posits, “What if?”. There is a lot of description here, as well as details on operation, which is great. There is also a sidebar with technical specifications for those who may appreciate such things. The most important detail here, in my opinion, is the maximum flight range, which is around 900 miles. That’s roughly Los Angeles to Seattle or London to Rome. In keeping with its flexible nature, the scenario doesn’t give any flight lengths or destinations, so the Keeper will need to plan ahead on where they can get to within that radius. (Note: Google Earth has a circle ruler that is perfect for the task!)
