Falcon: Really fast, challenging, accurate simulation, and, you can
have dogfights over AppleTalk.

Microsoft Flight Simulator:  Haven't used this in a while, not sure
it still works with later versions of the System.  The copy I bought
was copy-protected, and very poorly implemented in terms of adhering
to the Mac interface.  Still, it's a fairly nice simulation, with
lots of realistic terrain to fly through, different airports to land
at.

Chuck Yeager's:  This is my favorite.  Works in color, gives you 
several different aircraft (about a dozen, everything from a 
Spad to an SR-71) to fly.  No dogfighting, but several different
exercises.  Terrain is pretty boring.  But the simulation is 
great!

P-51:  The P-51 is legendary for being difficult to fly, and the
simulation captures this very well.  I spent several hours just
trying to learn how to take off without crashing. 

Hope this helps....
