If they are available here you can be sure they're on sale elsewhere. Spend a couple of bucks and get a friend into flight simming - or get one of these "mature age" sims for yourself and have a blast ! According to www.xe.com the " Live mid-market rates as of 2004.10.22 05:23:52 GMT." were - 1.00 AUD Australia Dollars = 0.736679 USD United States Dollars 1.00 AUD Australia Dollars = 0.584162 EUR Euro Battle of Britain by Rowan spotted at *$AUD 9.95* How can you go wrong with that? One of the most thorough and well received simulations of the Battle of Britain for less than $10.00. F-16 Aggressor at $ AUD 19.95 Su-27 Flanker 2.0 *at $ AUD 9.95* !!!!!!! Say no more - download the *free upgrades* and turn the sim into Su-27 Flanker 2.5 - enabling you to fly the MiG-29 Fulcrum in Flanker 2.5. Flight Unlimited II *at $ AUD 9.95* Microsoft Combat Flight Sim at $ AUD 29.95 Holding it's value well for a 6 year old sim. Still recommendable for someone with a PC more than a few years old or with a modest graphic card. Heaps of free add-ons available too. Crimson Skies at $ AUD 29.95. Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 with a free scenery CD - which scenery in particular was unspecified - it may have been scenery for lower Timbuktu heights - for $AUD 29.95 Enemy Engaged - Comanche vs Hokum for $AUD 29.95.

European Air War for $AUD 19.95 Gunship for $AUD 19.95 MUSEUM EXHIBIT UPDATE Added images of more of the aircraft in Vietnam Air War including the UH-1C Huey gunsight. MUSEUM EXHIBIT UPDATE The Andromeda Strain In the Andromeda Strain the plot is an old standby: "Earth is invaded by Aliens and our four heroes save the day".... but there's a twist or two! The Aliens aren't 7 feet tall with acid blood and the heroes aren't tall with lust in their blood. In fact, our heroes are middle aged - not too attractive - and their super weapon is ... the mind! Not even psychic power - no - just good old fashioned intellect, rational thinking and scientific method. Flight Sim relevance? - helicopters and the F-4 Phantom.
