C-9 Skytrain

We encourage Aviation Spectator visitors to try FlightGear, a completely free, open-source flight simulator.

The only caveat: to make it work, you need a huge amount of RAM, otherwise the experience may be less than electrifying. A lot less. I tried it on my sad little laptop.

On the plus side, it does very much of what Microsoft's Flight Simulator does, but costs, as it happens, nothing whatsoever. A plus in my book.

Here's the site. Enjoy!
