I vacillated between the F16 and F18. I'm partial to the F18 as it was 
my bird in the service and I can get exact measurements from a static at 
the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

However... I just downloaded/installed Falcon4 with the OpenFalcon stuff 
on top and ..... WOW!

Is anyone doing the stand-alone MFDs for Falcon? Is the concept even 
possible yet...

Questions questions questions....
