Yak-52 would be a good thing to start with (it is a prop trainer with for the most part an excellent flight model) & maybe the NS 430 so you can find your way once you get lost doing dead reckoning and following radio beacons.

Cheers.

Yes, and the funny thing is that I was told by ED years ago that the Yak-52 was a prime candidate to introduce a female pilot model. That obviously didn't happen...
Now the Bo-105 will be the first (the OH-58D was also supposed to have a female co-pilot).

Isn't Heatblur working on pilots that are customizable by the player?  I would have sworn I saw a screenshot of a female pilot in the Phantom, in place of the virtual Robin Olds, but I can't find it now.

Yes, it's in one of the announcement trailers. But Heatblur isn't the quickest when it comes to delivering promised features, so we'll see...
It was only a very short tease anyway, while the Bo-105's Bianca has been shown in much more detail.

I've never understood their reluctance - women have been flying in the armed forces since the armed forces started flying - sometimes restricted to non-combat roles, but in combat roles too - particularly in the modern age, which is where ED seem to be investing their time and effort at the moment.

Cheers.
