When I was little, my dad had bought me a toy airplane. I hadn't the slightest clue what plane it was but I loved it. He told me it was an F14. I played with that little plane all of the time and I must've made my dad take me to the closest air museum a dozen times to see it. Then my dad showed me the movie Top Gun for the first time and I fell even more in love with the plane. As I grew up I grew more and more drawn to it and the skies as my chances of joining the Navy and flying F14's grew larger in my cross hairs but, before I knew it, all F14's had been grounded and officially replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet. I was never part of the Tomcat community but I'll always be a Tomcat guy and now Flight Simulator is as close as I'll ever get to flying what I think is the most beautiful fighter.

I know the rules say no payware items but this version of the IRIS F14 is the 2004 model and is now freeware if you look on the IRIS website. I thought that my screenshot still might qualify because of that.

As long as anyone can download it for free, it's completely OK.  Smiley
