This conversation provided a good excuse to post some airplane diskettes! Origin could make a handsome disk!

ParadiseRegaind: I’m reminded of the beautiful US diskette artwork for Pacific Strike, and to a lesser extend, Strike Commander.

LOAF: Agreed! Makes you wish there had been a diskette SKU for Wings of Glory...

  Strike Commander
• Disk 1 - F-16 Fighting Falcon
• Disk 2 - MiG-29 Fulcrum

Pedant man strikes again! (but hey this is a fan forum so I'm in good company).

A-10 is designated as the Thunderbolt II. "Warthog" is a nickname that most people know it by. Just as the F-16 Fighting Falcon is nicknamed as the "Viper."

Hah, I had that exact debate in my head when I originally tweeted this and I ended up specifically matching the names to Sudden Death!
