uh, on that Panther I can't actually see any engines. Is it some sort of fighter-glider?

Yeah no prob there are heaps of places you can get them for free or to test out for 7-30 days ,,
abacus also have some ,and if you go to simmarket find the names of the aircraft publisher then go looking online for there sites and see what they have at them in the way of freeware and demos alphasim are always changing them slowly so worth checking back to most to see whats changed over time ....

for cougar/panther action try the old black and white war section at the video stores.
I think it was called 'the bridges of quang tri' or something like that. A real old korean war american action movie. Was on on a sat avo a while back as well. Lots of real footage and also douglass skyraiders.
just did a quick google
