Affirmative. The first PC flight sim I ever bought.  Flew that thing until I'd completed most of the missions successfully. My favorite was "Ace In A Day" where you engage five 109s circling around.  Other favorites were (a) that mission where you engaged two 109s, then two more, then two more and (b) the one that had you upping from the runway as bandits came in over the fenceline.

No multiplayer, no campaign, no mission editor, no add-on planes.  BUT - - so far its the only sim I've found that ever included WW2, Korea, and Vietnam missions in the same game.  What I really liked about it was the fact that all of the missions were based on real events, so after the mission was over you got a debriefing on the real outcome of the fight.  I'm still waiting for someone to duplicate that with a better flight model, sound, and graphics.

Wasn't the prettiest, or even the best FM, but the community was incredible and the fun was boundless. AH is getting there.

That Fighter COmbat game on PLATO.  The only MMP flightsim I've seen to feature the YF-16 (yes, it was still in prototype when they wrote the game).
