3) Stuff to know
Paint Schemes: These are alternate colors for the jets.. You get them by completing higher
difficulties and by shooting down enemy AC and the enemy ACEs. They differ in color and
some of them look very cool. But the down side to the paint schemes is that you have to
buy
them.. Mostly for more than the fighter that you bought the first time.
Aces: These are the Erusians best fighters (besides the Yellow Squadron). There is 1 ace
for
every plane in the game. Although all but 2 are found in the missions the others are
unlocked by
completing higher difficulties and by getting all the other aces. Some aces are very hard
to shoot
down others are very hard to shoot down.. They push the limit of ur dog fighting skills..

Model: F-117A ***
Name: Night Hawk
Type: Attacker
Price:
Buy: $386,000
Sell: $618,000
Info: Despite being known around the world as the "Stealth Fighter", this plane
is more like a bomber than anything else. It can only carry two missles at any given time,
and during the Gulf War, it was used as a bomber to take out targets in urban areas
because
it carries lazer guided bombs.It will primarily be used to strike at night, and due to
it's
shape and coat of paint, it's radar profile is little to none at all. SAMs will have a
hard time
hitting you, but they can visually aim at you. Durning the NATO strikes in the Kosovo
area,
one was shot down due to the use of many radar stations to triangelate the postion of the
plane,
thus proving that stealth technology will only help so much. It is currently undergoing
missions in Afganistan and Iraq.

Info: The most advance F-15 out there. It has just about everything the F-22
has. This plane has canards to help in turning and overall flying. This
aircraft is one of the top machines in the world. I doubt it's in mass

swept wings, that can fold in to make a delta wing. If you look at the plane from
above, the wings will make a "W" shape. When you speed up, the plane will form
a spear head shape, meaning that the canards are at the same angle as the wings,
