One quick question: is your disc using the NTSB final reports as the source material? ..<Bob> There is 1 Reply.

Tom, Thanks for the copy of the Accident/Incident Archive. I have been doing a lot of playing with it and it looks great. It's almost as much fun as Aviation Compendium. Keep up the good work. Tom Thackrey
