I still really like Strike Fighters 2. It has decent graphics,  good gameplay and a world of free add-ons.

If you want to talk retro.............I still play Strike Eagle II and F-117 Stealth Fighter.

I am not criticizing anyone who likes DCS. To each his own.

Weren't we talking about helicopters???????

SF2 is the flight sim sweet spot for me. I don't need a 'game' that is harder to learn than actual piloting.

It was a fun show, but Simon & Simon was better

That's James Farentino in the TV version with Dana Carvey as the JAFO.

The movie with Scheider was pretty good.

Cool!

Did he let you borrow it for the honeymoon trip? Seeing it fly along with a 'Just Married!' banner along the side and trailing a rope of old soup cans would be surreal...
