In the game, the player mostly flies F16 and F22 in 2 missions. The player fights against Mig 21(s), Mig 29(s), F15(s), F16(s), F18(s), Su 27, A10(s), Mirage 2000(s), Tornado(s) etc.

The missions are very interesting ranging from Flying as an Escort, bombing bases, tanks, buildings, bridges, ships, Oil Rigs etc. In one mission, the player has to steal F22. Bombing of a nuclear power plant mission is a personal mission to take revenge for Stern's death
The game offers three training missions viz. SEARCH & DESTROY, DOG FIGHT AND GAUNTLET.

In search and destroy missions the player equips the plane with bombs and
destroys various ground targets.

In the Dog fight mode, the player chooses the number of planes, the type of planes and the altitude at which to fight.

In gauntlet, the player is surrounded by enemy planes to test how long the player will survive in a dog fight with multiple boogies. Gauntlet mode is very interesting because the player has to fight against all the planes that the player will come across in the actual missions. The game has kill board which displays the number of ground and air targets killed by the player and other squad members.
