After a vicious warlord threatens the nations of the world with a massive military invasion, the United Nations have recruited an experienced pilot by the name of Jake Steel in order to bring peace back to the world. The player will participate in a variety of missions against both air and ground forces and can fly in four different aircraft (the British made Panavia Tornado ADV, the Japanese Mitsubishi F-2 fighter, the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F-14 Tomcat). The player can use the strengths of each airplane to their advantage along with their powerful weaponry such as M61 Vulcans cannons and heat seeking missiles against enemy jet fighters, tanks and other various enemies scattered throughout each mission.
