The story
You are the group leader of a secret twin engined super fighter squadron*. You have been tasked to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible while the Naval expeditionary forces take control of different island chains. Fight from aircraft carrier to aircraft carrier as you battle waves of enemy fighters, squadrons of bombers, dodge experimental missiles and destroy super weapon bombers. You have three aircraft in your squadron and you may gain a fourth if you are good enough. You can earn a weapons upgrade (firing rate upgrade) by catching the upgrade pellets that are dotted throughout the levels. You can also dodge bullets by doing a loop (three seconds of invulnerability and you can do three loops per aircraft).
Controls
Joystick left/right - fighter left/right
Joystick down - fighter loop which gives three seconds of invulnerability
Joystick fire button - fighter machine guns
