The Slipstream is VHI's high-performance jet. It debuted in February 2004 as the Slipstream and enjoyed wide popularity. A second version was released in April 2004, and included a number of enhancements, including realistic stalling and the glidepath system. A free copy of the Slipstream II was delivered to everyone who had purchased the original Slipstream. This jet retails for L$50.
