Air Combat USA lets you take controls of a modern prop-powered fighter plane and go head to head against another Top Gun-wannabe!  Squint in the afternoon sun as you search for your opponent, feel the sweat on your brow as you approach the merge, and strain under the pressure of over 6G's as you desperately try to out-turn your opponent! Take a look below at the 718th's real aerial exploits.

Rousty, Skater, Slice, and Enforcer enjoying a glorious day as fighter pilots!

Once I dig up the voice recordings of the dogfights, I'll put them up here, so you can all hear Skater's unique "panic" voice. :)

Digger's Sky Warriors experience:
