I'm so old I started out with sublogic's JET and was blown away by the first 2 color version of Falcon! LOL
I have to agree though, flying this F18 and landing on the boat, case I, II, or III is some of the most satisfying flying I've done on the PC. I've finally got my head around it and the muscle memory on my throttle hand to be fairly consistent. It just makes me giggle every time a snag a 3 wire!
