What it is is a flight simulator: every plane is defined by how fast it can roll, turn, climb and dive based on the rolls of a mark on the rear wheel. One player per plane, and shooting is resolved with a roll of the dice. Old fashioned, slow to play and one heck of a lot of fun! It's a flight sim for people who love to build models, and a way for us to play with our models instead of just hanging them from the ceiling.
