This unique night fighter made its first flight as early as November 6. 1942, and entered service in 1943. However very few ever saw service due to a huge political battle between Josef Kammhuber (General of the Night Fighters), Ernst Heinkel (the constructor) and Erhard Milch (responsible for aircraft construction in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium).

When the first YC-130A Prototype took to the skies in August of 1954 few would have imagined that the design would still be being built and flown operationally 52 years later with many airforces throughout the world and has seen mission roles ranging from raining destruction on North Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as a gunship to bringing needed food aid to many starving peoples in developing nations under the UN's flag. Together with planes like the DC-3 the hercules is a plane that uniquely continues to fill a niche more then half a century after its conception.

The JustFlight/Phoenix Simulations Boeing 777 or: Why being an airline pilot is a dayjob and not a weekend hobby First flying on the 6th of june 1994 the triple 7 is one of boeings latest aircraft to join the airline fleet. Being the first plane to be entirely designed digitally it is a natural for inclusion into Flight Sim 9. When first I was told that I would be reviewing a 777 my initial reaction was Why? Does not FS9 come with one?. Does this addon actually add something beyond that of Microsofts rendition of the 777? Lets find out! On with the testing!

Upon downloading the addon you are instructed to use the addon manager to purchase it. This led to some confusion with me as I couldnt find an executable anywhere for an addon manager but an e-mail exchange with the guys at cloud9 solved this. Installation adds a new menu item inside FS9 "addon manager" through which you can purchase the addon from inside the game.
