If only someone could recut this with updated Airwolf-style schematics (based on the cat's specifications) it would be godlike.

What the hell is a "bus monitor"? I mean I guess it's obvious, but in my day we never had such a thing. :corsair: The driver was the monitor, and if you acted up, you got kicked off the bus, or the driver parked the bus until order was restored.

This is why I gave up on combat flight sims. Instead of being about combat tactics and the general excitement of flight, most of them turned into an exercise in button-pushing and frustration. Usually with crummy gameplay to boot.

The story is the accelerator was stuck/brakes were out. He/she most likely panicked and didn't know what to do.

You would at least know not to upshift several times. Most people know that makes you go faster.

How is this economically viable? How much do christmas trees cost in america?

Highly variable based on location, type of tree, local supply. I'd say a "typical" 7 foot tree probably ranges from $30 at some discount places with "bulk grade" trees, up to $100 at a fancy nursery for a high quality example of a desirable species.

For more high-intensity '70s cheese, I offer the following:

Ark II. Future-Winnebago crew fights to restore civilization and science to a post-apocalyptic Earth populated by ethnic sterotypes.

Jason of Star Command. Totally-not-Han Solo fights to save his Space Academy and Space Friends from the evil, but laughter-prone, Dragos.
