Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

These are AMAZING!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked

And trust me, Air Force One has enough on it to blast pretty much any aircraft out of the sky and protect itself from pretty much any attack.  On it's own.

Here's two more interesting facts about Air Force One.  They made an exact duplicate of it so that when they fly, if someone trys to kill the president airborn, he'll have to figure out which is the real and which is the fake.  Also, Air Force One is actually a title given to an airplane while the president is on it.  The second, he steps off, it's no longer Air Force One.  In other words, he could go in just a random C172 and while he's on it, that's Air Force One! Cheesy

Trust me, he's right.  Those guys who clean it get pretty much NO rest!  They have to constantly hand-clean it until there's not a spec of dust on there! Cheesy

How do you like it, are the flight dynamics good?  I've been wanting to pick it up, obviously from my obsession with F/A-18s.  Cool

It's a huge step up from default.....in every aspect Cool Cool

I've heard it called "A F/A 18 simulator that uses FSX to exist in" Wink

Sounds good to me! Also sounds like another "need vs want" discussion with the wife/accountant since I just bought the the PC and all the accessories a couple weeks ago.  Grin
