Hey, me and my friend from VMC want to make some F-18 addons. But, he says that you need to make a .AIR file? Whenever I go into aircraft files, I see these little ".AIR" files, but I have no idea what they are for. First, what are these air files for, and second, where can I get an air file opener/editor?

They are the controls of the aircraft.
You can right click, choose notepad and open one.

Thanks for the quick response!
