Want to fly A Bit-O-Lace?
A virtual Bit-O-Lace
lives on and may be downloaded and flown
in Microsoft Flight Simulator98.
Here are several sites to download A Bit-O-Lace
for MS Flight Simulator and MS Combat FS.
The regular MSFS model is the excellent work of Terry Hill
- the creator of these models. There are models for several generations of
Microsoft Flight Simulator. I downloaded the FS98 rev and fly it out of Moffett
Field, my Navy home, in the Bay Area.
