 The Slipstream is VHI's original 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 somewhat 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 is now free. Its feature set doesn't really compare to my later work, but it's still fun to cruise around with.
