Supreme Air Combat
-
This is a turn-based game where you get your F/A-18 Hornets into position and then control their movements on screen as you engage enemy aircraft. The game is controlled entirely with the mouse. You direct the planes' movements by clicking them and then clicking the arrows in front of the plane. The goal is to keep your planes from being shot down while getting them into position to shoot down the enemy. The planes fire either an on-board M61 Vulcan Cannon or air-to-air missiles. The F/A Hornets automatically fire once the enemy is in range. Each turn has a time limit. If you don't move an aircraft within the time limit, it will move straight ahead.
Strike Fighter: F-35 Lightning II
-
In this game you fly the new F-35 Lightning fighter. You fire off missiles against approaching enemy aircraft and avoid being shot down. You control your plan's position with the directional keys, you fire missiles with the space bar and you use your afterburner to avoid incoming missiles with the "A" key. You can play through a campaign or try survival mode, which is just a stand-alone level. There are six environments, including storm, ocean and desert.

Operation: Tiger

You pilot the ARH Tiger helicopter in this game, shooting at infantry and defenses set up against you as you protect a convoy. You control the Tiger with the "A," "W," "S" and "D" keys, loop the chopper with the spacebar to avoid enemy fire, switch weapons with the "Control" key, aim your weapons with the mouse and fire by left-clicking the mouse.
Operation: Thunderbolt
-
The F/A-18 Hornet is featured in this game as well, and you pilot it through two missions. The first mission pits you against another plane. You chase the plane and navigate through "gates" to keep up, finally firing a missile when the plane is within range. In the second mission, you fire on all types of ground units like tanks and APCs with Vulcan cannons and Maverick missiles. You play this game mostly with the mouse. You move the mouse to control the plane's direction, and you left-click to fire. You use the "Control" key to switch weapons.
Operation: Seahawk
-
You fly the Navy Seahawk helicopter in this game. You are attempting to save crew members stranded on the ocean and defend your frigate against attacks from submarines. Enemy helicopters approach eventually, and you must get them to follow you back to your ship where the on-board guns shoot them down. You pilot the Seahawk with the arrow keys and you interact with whatever's near you with the spacebar. If you're next to stranded crew members, you'll pick them up. If you're near the enemy, you'll fire on them.
