It's great!  It supports 16 colors - so we don't have to wait for Microsoft
or Spectrum Holobyte.  Even without color, the images are much better than
Falcon, which I was never really pleased with on the Mac II.  You can select
from a number of views either internal or external to the cockpit.  This makes
a good trainer for RC flying.

There are 14 different planes you can fly.  You can perform stunts (and
record them), race (and record and compete against recorded flights), and
take lessons from Chuck.

I've noticed one bug.  The sound cuts off occasionally.  Could be multifinder.
Also, it's got a nifty "copy protection" scheme although it might not work on
aircraft enthusiasts.  Every day it asks you about the specs on a particular
plane.  If you're wrong, the program exists.  So, you need to refer to the
manual once a day.

If you've got a Mac II, buy it!
