This is actually a fairly distinct rendition compared to the one introduced in the Microsoft Flight Simulator: Game of the Year Edition, as it depicts the base as it was in the late 1980s, before its transfer to the Marine Air Corps. Basically, it's perfect to play with your F-14 Tomcat and F-5E Tiger II and relive the original Top Gun.
It comes with the following features.
