We've been yapping about how fun After Burner: Black Falconwill be, especially with the featured in-depth customization of 19 officially military planes. So how about we finally take a closer look at these planes, eh? And that's exactly what we're bringing you today. But not only will we be shedding some light on some specific flying wonders, we're also throwing in a look at the environments that you'll be cruising through.

So, let's get started.

Ryan Kauffman, Planet Moon producer, gamely provided details on After Burner's aircrafts. According to him, they wanted to use real-world, licensed aircraft. Not only that, they also had to take into consideration the fact that the franchise is strongly associated with the F-14 Tomcat. This is where they had to balance things out, especially with the introduction of a whole new stale of fighters and bombers.

Calling it the holy trinity of the game, he identifies the F-14X Tomcat, the F-15E Strike Eagle, and the F/A-18E Super Hornet. These beauties are assigned to different playable pilot characters, but not without having their compatibilities taken into consideration. Pretty much, you can say that these three are the cream of the crop.

But they wanted to throw in some more flavas, hence the expansion of the club. Bringing in the SR-71 Blackbird (otherwise known as the fastest jet in the world), along with the F-4 Phantom II from the Vietnam-era, the F-22 Raptor, and the F-35 Lightning II, the star-studded aircraft stable is now riding high.

But that ain't all, my friends. They also brought in some "underdeveloped prototypes" such as the X-36 and X-29, as well as created their own mythical "assassin jets". Now, these newbies, so to speak, are equipped with handling characteristics and are found to be among the speediest models.

Now, let's go have a survey of the environments. To get there, just click on the Full Article link.
