I'm not THAT young. I grew up on those things. I still have a working VCR believe it or not. VHS Movies was my childhood. Along with flight sims and sports.
That sounds awesome though! I still can't get my class to understand air combat. They barely understand combat as it is. I'm the military history buff of the school. I have 8 kids in my class total and every time I give a presentation like that they ask all these questions and they don't understand.
"Why did that pilot fly all the way over there before turning back?"
He did that to line up a better shot and evade enemy fighters (or something like that...I'm just coming up with random questions and answers)
"But wouldn't it make sense to stay close to your target and just keep turning around?"
"Why didn't they just shoot the plane and kill it? How hard is that?"
