Gee Joe, I hope you can see it!!!
You should do it like a Buran - they had one on jet power for testing and training. It had an extendable nose strut for take off. They found that they actually had to have the turbines producing some thrust during the "glide" landing or otherwise it came down too fast!

I actually got to climb through this one on a trip through Germany a couple of years ago.
