Shes wonderfull !Hey she's just the best aircraft available for FS9 - and the best is, its freeware! You won't find any better payware stuff.Danke! THanks a lot for this outstanding work guys.Never had a plane made that serious, acurate and realistic.Even better then my good old YS-11. I've got a new Really good plane to fly.Regards DietgerPS. Some tinting windows in the VC would be cool :)Waiting for the paintkit here bare metal one looks fantastic too.

Hi Dietger,I agree, the Howard 500 by Milton Shupe and Company is a wonderful old bird! :D I also love their newer version of the Aero Commander.. the Aero Commander 500. Have you tried that one out? The Virtual Cockpit in it it awesome.Thank You Milton!!!Cheers,Jim

Hi OneTinSoldier,no didn't tried the Commander jet. Thanks for the tip.But I guess I stick to that flying wonder bird :DRegards Dietger

Hello Mr. Milton.Just read all the stories about the Howard on your site.Exellent read!Like the big bird even more after learning a little about her history.Amazing times were those 50th in the USA.GreetingsDietger

WOW!!!!Where have I been?I see the upload date is several weeks old, or is this the actual date that it became available? I got the impression from the posts that it just became available today.Thank you so much for the fine contribution Milton, Scott and Joao!RTH

Gotcha!!!!!!!! Need to pay closer attention to the fine print. ;)The FS9 version has been out at least three weeks, but the FS2 options has only been out a few days.Y'all are gonna be in for the ride of your life with this beastie. :(-------------------Racartronit means something, but I just can't remember what
