I'd like to find software to let me design a custom "flip flap" destination display on a PC screen, either as a screen saver, or a standalone app.

Next best thing: does anyone know of a font I could use to simulate the "flip Flap" arrival departure board displays?

I think your best bet would be to create a Flash animation. That would give you the most control. All you would have to do is to create all the panels for destinations you want, then a sprite for the animation of the flipping, and then script it however you want things to flip and in what sequence.
