Drake crashed a boat in Uncharted 1, a train in Uncharted 2, and now a plane in Uncarted 3?  What's left?

--Uncharted 4 takes place in space, confirmed.

He'll crash a race car, remember?

OT: I don't think many people can jump out of a burning plane and survive, which leads me to think that he was never in the plane. Maybe he shot it down with that AK? Or maybe he just parachuted out. But he says that he did it, so maybe it was to take out some huge villain.
