FLY is a civilian aircraft simulation. You can fly any one of five planes: The Piper Malibu Mirage, which is a turbocharged single propeller plane, Beechcraft King Air B200, Cessna 172R Skyhawk (not the RNZAF Skyhawk), Piper Navaho Chieftain, and the Raytheon Hawker 800XP, which is a business executive jet and easily the most fun to fly.
