Pilot ni Naru! Flying All Stars

Take to the skies and pilot 100 years worth of planes and learn a little history while you're at it. The main portion of Pilot ni Naru! is the Mission Mode where players use various planes to fulfill targeted objectives and tasks. In one mission, players are assigned courier duties where secret documents are delivered to an airbase. In another mission, virtual pilots take control of a crop duster and spray an expansive field with pesticide to clear it of hungry insects. Military missions include night bombing runs, destruction of an enemy fleet, and strafing enemy forces on the ground. Civilian missions are more varied with tasks such as avoiding an oncoming hurricane, observing an erupting volcano, and tracking animals from the air. Over 40 missions may be enjoyed with a little bit of something for everyone.

In the Academy Mode of the game, players are trained to become a pilot by an accommodating and forgiving software tutor. Finally, Challenge Mode features death-defying aerial missions and stunts. The game features a total of 21 planes which were used in the past century including the Sopwith Camel which was in rotation during WWI, the Fokker Dreidecker I Triplane which was piloted by German forces, Mig-29 Fulcrum, F117 Stealth Fighter, C-130 Hercules, A10 Thunderbolt, and the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. Two flyboys may link up through the PSP wireless communication function and compete against each other in missions which involve dogfighting and trials of enemy plane destruction.
