I would have to say Falcon.  Good flight controls, the HUD is pretty close to
real, and the graphics are good.  No multitasking, and it supports a hard drive.Copy protection is based on a code that is on a wheel, enter the code and away  you go.                 

There is also F-18 by electronic arts( I think anyway, someone else?).  I like
the HUD on this one a little better, more detail(I worked on weapon systems
while I was in the air force...) when you engage the enemy.  I'm not sure if it 
supports a hard drive, a friend of mine has this one and I play his.


Off the subject, can anyone send any hints they might have from when they playedshadowgate?  I seem to be stuck at the bridge that had fire underneath it, and
the monster behind the door.  I also have been cursed by that one guy, and I 
think I will die rather shortly.  I tried to ride the broom, no luck, same goes
for the carpet; so I cought it on fire.  
  So, mail me all your hints if you don't mind.  Thanks in advance...
