You know Back in the days of the super fast intel 286 chip I used to play a simulation game called F119 Stealth Fighter before it was known what the F117 looked like. The picture or drawing of the plane that the program was modeled on looked just about like that on the carrier deck there...

I still have my F-19 program. But I had a 386 machine w/ a super VGA and 16K of memory to play it on. :p

I'll bet that plane periodically pumps a bright white paste from the aft section.

You're right it was F-19... had to get in the wayback machine.

It's not going to get very far, in one piece at least, while it's still lashed to the deck. :D

I wish I still had a 286/386 system, the slowest computer I have now is a 486-66hz, I have to disable the internal cache to get it to run some of the older games :D

Somewhere I still have an original Sub-Logic Flightsimulator (what is now Microsoft Flightsim) for the Apple IIe. When I moved a couple years ago, I found a bunch of old 286/386 computer games I've kept, but nothing to run them on.
I have the original F-19 version. I always wanted 2.0 becuase it had Iraq as one of it's theaters of operation. :D By the time it came out, I was flying real airplanes and didn't have the money to upgrade.

I've got a box of Apple IIe software and an Apple computer as well as a C64 with a box of software. I haven't booted up either of those systems in a couple of years though, I hope they still work. My sister grabbed our Atari 2600 that we had as kids, I would have liked to have kept that as well.

Commodore had better graphics. :D I didn't have a joystick for a while either... you get pretty good at flying by the keyboard... let's see "B" is up elevator "T" is down elevator "F" is left aileron "H" is right aileron and "G" centers the yoke... I think.

the thing that was so tough was the jerky screen refresh... sometimes it was a lot easier to crash on landing than landing the plane...

My brother threw out my Apple IIe a when my mother moved to Vegas. I could have chocked him. :mad:

While i was growing up in Burbank, every once in a while the airport would become very quiet no lights and lots of Security, well, being the curious type i went over to see what was going on only to find a bunch of folks hanging out for a C-5A party, you see the F-117 was being built in Bldg. 360 @ Burbank, and was being transported out in pieces to Area 51, or Groom Lake as it's properly known, theyd turn out all of the lights at the airport the C 5 would touchdown and the nose Cargo section would be surrounded by miltary security and a tarp put around the A/C while the parts of the A/C were brought aboard, we'd listen to the tower and to the military freqs. and waited for the c 5 to take off, had to be done quickly due to the Russian Sats that would be over the area every 90 mins. Fun times those were .
