Very nice sim.  If you don't have a 386/33 or better, I'd say its
probably the best.  Moves very smoothly, nice graphics, nice flight
models.  Covers planes from WWII, Korea, Nam, and you have to 
vary tactics according to your planes.
But bogus "campaign" option (just ties together the canned missions)
and no ground attack options in limited mission designer.

BTW, the best game, if you have a 386/33+ IMO, is Falcon 3.0.
Lets see how Aces of the Pacific rates.
