Not sure about that one yet. I'm still mainly into props, but now I've mastered the Comet, I might think about doing some jets as well.

The VC-10 just about borders on the edge of the 'era' I'm flying in (it wasn't yet in airline service in 1962, but had already flown as a prototype)

I'm sure, though, I'll download the Caravelle one of these days. And maybe even... the Tupovlev Tu-104. Or even the Tu-114 Rossiya...

Ha, you must be talking about the Comet 1. The Comet 4 is an entirely different kind of bird, without any of the flaws of its illustrious predecessor.

While the Comet 1 lives on in infamy, the Comet 4 caught a number of records - it even did the first non-stop Atlantic Jet-crossing, beating Pan Am and its 707 to the title...

880 and 990, probably, if I can find them. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a freeware model around of the 707 and 720. :/

Avsim.com seems to be back up, so they might have one there - but my compy is down (I'm using my Flightsim-less laptop right now), and seems to be out for the count... :(
