Charlotte,
You think "it's a shame that one question submitted by someone who gives their profile openly should trigger off a neurotic stream of insults about tabloid journalism."
I wonder why? What was the question exactly? it was "Does anyone know if any airbus A300 simulator graphics are on the web?"
Now assuming you mean computer generated external views of an A300 in flight it doesn't take too much imagination to work out what you might be planning to use this for. A speculative graphical reconstruction of the events that occurred over Jamaica Bay by any chance?
