Is there a beginner's flight simulator for PCs that a smart kid can

BTW ... I finally used the gift certificate for an hour's time in a
Cessna last weekend. I was waiting for cooler weather.

The owner of the flight school that I attended years ago when I got
my ticket remembered me and went up with me. I was a little rusty
on the check lists and procedures but flying the airplane and, most
importantly, landing it all came back. Guess it's like riding a
bicycle. All the hours an training from years ago still stuck in
my head.

All I did was "fly the pattern" many times, practicing take-offs
and landings. It was fun.

Though ready at all times, my brother would let me tak off and land his J-4 Piper. Nice little motorized box kite.
