Look Upon Mine and Encourage Me To Infodump About My 7 Year Old Ongoing Kerbal Space Program Campaign
the first one is Saphira. She flew 50 missions in my save before she was retired.
She was uncrewed, and could deliver a full orange tank to low kerbin orbit with equivalent downmass.
She first flew in January 2018, designed on a New Years' stream, though by the end of her service life she had been refit and tuned up several times, most significantly with a major polish pass on her engine nacelles, and the upgrade from the airliner tail to a proper shuttle tail.

She was my first SSTO, but not my first spaceplane.
The core conceit of my KSP save was always to be planes and spaceplanes first, and it took me nearly two years to fly my first SSTO. I might jump back in time for that.
i was gonna hunt down more pictures and do more of a thread but post-bike-ride exhaustion hit hard
