To the world of the Virtual Flying Corps. Most of us have had fantasies at one time or another of being a fighter pilot.
Most of us are also now resigned to being passengers, but we don't need to be. Using our computers we can take to the skies whenever we choose and relive our
dreams of battling the enemy and diving in and out of the clouds in our fighter planes. The wind whistling past as we dive for the "kill".
Our group flies together in an exciting new WWII sim called Wings of Prey. This sim has only been released for a few months and already has a solid world wide
fan base with regular updates from the developers, and in my opinion is well worth the purchase price for the graphics alone! It is available on dvd in some countries
already or as a download from
YuPlay.com.
There are many similar sims out there and everyone should be able to find a program that will suit their taste, budget and computer equipment. On the
Resources page you will find shortcuts to some of the more popular web sites that will assist you in making your decision.
This web site is all about
YOU. You will soon find that there is no age barrier to joining our group of enthusiasts

There are many ways to get started in the virtual skies. You can choose to fly modern day planes, WWII planes or WWI planes in a sim that you purchase
from a store or you can purchase online from a download site such as
Thirdwire.com.
You can also choose to play in an onlinegame for a small monthly fee. The advantage of a subscription sim is usually that
you get an easier connection and introduction into playing your game with lots of other players online to give assistance and tips to enhance your flying.
