It’s a great addition to any virtual pilot’s hangar. Best of all, it’s free!…”.

“…… “If you missed out, it’s not too late,” says Flight Simulator Community Evangelist Hal Bryan. “All you need to do is sign up for the free FSInsider newsletter and you’ll get a link to download the 152 from Just Flight.
