New challenge: Thread the needle lengthwise on all of these bridges, Slalom the pylons on the Forth railbridge. Corkscrew slalom the openings in the girders of the rail bridge. No points, just knowledge that you're a master of cross rudder and aileron controls.

And multiple loops around the center span of the road suspension Queensferry bridge
