NO MODS
ONLY STOCK GAME/DLC PARTS USED

CALYPSO is my 20 Passenger conventional Jetliner. I use it for extractions and exploring Kerbin.
The Kerbal version of Jet-Blue ... just dropping in outta' orbit.
On the Turbofans it has the range to fly halfway around Kerbin.
At 88% Throttle on the Turbofans, it will do a gentle nose up oscillation through 200m/s, then just tap it down at 4000m ALT. and it will slowly do it again, it's my AFK Flyer on long hauls. It acts like a Jetliner when it's suppose to.
Using the "Pick-A-Radian" Launch Sequence you can set up Orbits wherever you want and drop in anyplace. The Reentry is so sweet ... I mean it. It's a full on Stick move that ends in a sweeper up a few thousand meters. It's very rewarding when done well. The Whiplash Engines give it High Altitude performance and it will do 700m/s Side Slips. The Landings are not very forgiving when it's full of fuel, so pulling one off feels pretty good. There is a Fuel Valve to dump fuel if desired.
I added the second set of Ladders because the Front set sometimes did not work for Kerbals spread around the Map when I'd fly in to get them ... the back one's 100% will.

Once in orbit, use the remaining fuel in the Lifter to do a RETROGRADE burn to set up an Reentry wherever you want to drop in.
> THE JETLINER HAS NO MEANS OF PROPULSION IN SPACE, ONCE COMMITTED, THAT'S IT
> REMEMBER TO DO A PROGRADE TURN BEFORE SEPARATING FROM THE LIFTER
> AIR-BRAKES ON

To use the Auto Launch Sequence turn SAS and RCS ON, then go full Throttle, then just use the Action Group. Point of Reference is the Space Center.
The variations in orbits from one angle to another are actually the shape of Kerbin, I took a best average so that none ended up to high, just finish off the shallow ones.
There's enough Fuel left in the Lifter to drop in at whatever approach angle you want, but there's probably not enough to do much "NORMAL" or "ANTI-NORMAL" corrections, do that by picking a RADIAN .... it's a Long Haul Jetliner ... just fly there, but make sure to get down.
CALYPSO likes to Reenter the Atmosphere @ 12 Degrees positive, Then it's a full on Stick pull up at the first indication of Nose In.
** There Is an Action Group to manipulate CALYPSO's Engines.
