Dennette's Flight Simulators:

  Aces Of The Pacific™ (AOTP)

This is one of several air combat simulators I own... This one offers carrier takeoffs and landings. by far my favorite, partly because it lets you fly either side of the same scenario, like the attack on Pearl Harbor. The recorded "video" of your engagement allows you to watch the action from any 3D position, and edit the playback from different perspectives!

1998-10-29: OK, I did some digging around and found that you can still purchase it directly from Sierra On-Line. :-)

Go to http://www.sierra.com/ and go to the "store" page. On the right, you'll see a list of "top sellers" ... the last one is "The Aces Collection Series". Their blurb sez ...

Take a courageous trip through nearly a century of warfare with the original Red Baron, Aces of the Pacific, Aces Over Europe, A-10 Tank Killer and the 1996 hit Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II. Also includes the gripping submarine simulation Aces of the Deep. Six full Aces games in all. Order today!

Anywho, I've been collecting scale model kits of the planes, but it's not a high priority.

Here's what I have so far, as indicated by the scale sizes. If there is a page with a picture of the kit or the box art, then there is an anchor.
