David,

I looked at all my game instructions from Thorn and could only find
that they are in England (somewhere). I guess they don't (or didn't)
care to hear any user comments - good or bad! 

I did find a review of one of their games that gave the following as
Thorn's address:

	Thorn-EMI Video
	1370 Avenue of the Americas
	New York, New York 10019

To tell you the truth I found the game to be a real BORE! it takes soooooo
long to get into the air that I lost interest in even trying to get
the flying part of it down (er up?). I think Flight Simulator II is much
better. 

Good Luck!
