Pearl Harbor
recreates the famous and devastating attack on the US fleet by Japanese
aircraft in 1941. You can fly for either side and recreate historical as well as a few
hypothetical missions. Overall I found this to be one of the better add-ons for a quick dog-fighting fix.
It also boasts the best looking palm trees I've seen outside of Ghost Recon, and
that's an achievement for a flight sim!

Landing this one took a little bit of time to master as you needed to get the AoA and vertical velocity spot-on. And when you had mastered that, you could throw in a bit of bad weather ( fog and low cloud down to 500ft AGL ) and if you were really lucky, it could all be in the black of night too.
