" For a "look and feel" of flying those crates i can recommend a Flight Simulator..."

sorry, pet peeve...can't resist contradicting:

i appreciate the beauty of the current batch of computer games, but for open-cockpit, seat-of-pants flying, computer/flight-sim is to the real thing as dryer lint is to sex: either you've never done the latter or it was a truly horrific experience...

button-mashing experience is just that: it's not at all similar to the visceral experience of actual stick-and-rudder handling. i'm not saying that flight-sim is bad: just that it's not the same as (or even close to) the real thing.


again, sorry for the hijack...
