Have you ever dreamed of flying into combat, but always wanted to keep your feet safely planted on the ground? In this game you get to fly a one mission simulation of the battle at Quantanamo bay. You can flip between several views and make use of a virtual cockpit. You can control the landing gear, ailerons, rudders, trim, flaps, elevators, and of course, the throttle. You can also use the speed brakes, extinguishers, and the ejection seat. But choose your weapons carefully or you might find yourself having to bail out.
