The flight sim I spent an insane amount of time on.
Second only to Falcon 3.0.
Gunship 2000 - the best helicopter combat simulation ever? It's 35 years old now, so I guess the answer is no, but honestly, I’ve never come across a better one.
Very steep learning curve, massive manual (in typical MicroProse fashion), and excellent gameplay. If you invested enough time in it, it would reward you a hundredfold.

Based on available data, Bernie Sanders' net worth is estimated at $3 million in 2025. According to the Federal Reserve's 2023 wealth distribution data, this places him around the 94th percentile of U.S. household wealth. This means he is in the top 6-7% of households. Exact percentiles may vary slightly due to changes in wealth distribution since 2023, but this is the best estimate with current information. grok.x.com

🇮🇷RAISI: “THE PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE” or "BUTCHER OF TEHRAN"?
Iranian President Raisi has been confirmed dead following a helicopter crash.
For some, he was the leader of the people, ushering in an Iran led with strength and religious groundings.
For others, his death marks the end of a dark chapter in Iran's history.
Raisi, notorious as "The Butcher of Tehran," earned his grim title by executing thousands of regime opponents and brutally crushing protests, leaving a legacy of fear and oppression.
Born in 1960, Raisi rose to power under Supreme Leader Khamenei, participating in the 1988 "death committee" that sentenced countless Iranians to death.
As head of the Judicial Authority, he oversaw one of the world's highest execution rates and the violent suppression of anti-regime protests, prompting U.S. sanctions.
Raisi's presidency, marked by social and economic turmoil, further showcased his harsh and unyielding methods.
