Going to have to say no. Its engines can accelerate at 100 meters per second (in the atmosphere. In space, it can accelerate much faster), and it weighs 256 tons.

Meaning it could, hypothetically, beat gravity and climb at one meter per second squared with around 2,200 tons. Hypothetically, although he never, ever, ever, would, and it would be downright idiotic in combat since it would take forever to move, it is technically possible. So I would ask for a specific exemption for him, knowing and promising that his plane would never lift even close to 500 tons.
