Hello all!

Get yourself a K-36 (if you can find them) or KM-1... way cheaper than that USA / UK stuff

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Inverted under tower bridge? They don't normally let sprogs like me fly the Lanc and Spits, and no ones let me fly Sally B yet... Basically you can do a lot in the sim which you can't in real life...
