Just noticed the freeware section is back on the Iris site, the classics are available again and a couple of the newer models as well.

, there's a lot of oldies that gave me a lot of joy back in the day, i shall have fun reacquainting myself with these.
Thanks for the heads up! I always wondered whether I should purchase the one below. I never did as I'm more a propeller guy. Now I realise I perhaps should have bought it earlier....

I can still very well remember the first time I saw an A-10. Very early eighties, the first A-10 would be stationed in Europe and the USAF decided to make a tour with two A-10 along some airfields. I was still in the Air Force and the airfield I was stationed, was one of the lucky ones. Just before noon, the two A-10 would make a low pass.
Although it was still strictly forbidden to take photographs on a military base in those day, I was ready, with my Eastern European camera and 300mm telephoto lens. It was cloudy weather so the aircraft would have a nice background.
With a small group we were waiting at the edge of the platform until one said; "There they are!" The guy obviously had good eyes as I didn't see anything, until I realised there are several definitions of a low pass.
The aircraft were at least at 3,000 feet! Not really what we had expected. But I still have the picture I took that moment. A tiny black silhouette, which could be anything...... But I know it was an A-10 and the picture is still better than nothing
Cheers,
