A good idea :))) How many times did you hear this phrase since you got the
cockpit??

Holy cow... these guys must have big houses :)) Although my interest is
mainly in military aircraft, I see a very positive aspect about commercial
a/c: they have a social component, as you don't fly alone... Well, this
could also be solved with a two seat fighter a/c ;)

Gene - which software will you use later? Microsoft FS??? I love the fact
that it allows you to use a HUD and MFDs (that e.g. Falcon 4 does not, as
much as I amk informed - but PLEASE group, correct me;), however flying
around in a fighter a/c without having a mission should get quite boring one
day. Is there a way to have for example dogfights and air-to-ground- or
refuelling-missions in MSFS??? I'm just asking, as I didn't hear much about
using this software for a fighter a/c sim yet.

You are a damn lucky man :))

Cheers & thanx so far,
