This month (September, 2025), USNRaptor celebrates 30 years of playing the US Navy Fighters series.

In the beginning, I had been binge playing Falcon 3.0 for almost two months straight, even to the point where I was dreaming about it when sleeping.  I was killing time waiting to begin four years of college.  One day, I went to rent some VHS videos at the local video store.  In the store, for sale, was a package deal of a Thrustmaster Mark I FCS flight stick and a copy of US Navy Fighters (MS-Dos).  I bought the packaged deal.

Severals months prior, while still enlisted in the US Navy, a friend of mine was telling me about his friend's flight sim US Navy Fighters, and how awesome it appeared.  Fast forward to mid-September, 1995, I decided to try it out based on that recommendation.  And, thus began a 30 year love affair with this series.  Not a year has passed that I have not played this wonderful series.

Despite its many flaws and inaccuracies, the game still holds water 30 years later.  It is thanks to the simplicity of the programming and thanks to Duosoft's David C. Maschino, the creator of the various toolkits, that has made this possible.  Without the great work of David C. Maschino and the other early hackers, this game would be buried in the boxes with the other flight sims.

With that said, it has been 30 years.  Is it time to retire ?  

 

This page is dedicated to all the loyal developers and modders, of the US Navy Fighters series.

Thank You for making this series the greatest flight sim of all time.
