AeroWings 2: Airstrike, known in Japan as Aero Dancing F (エアロダンシング F, Earo Danshingu F), is a combat flight simulator developed and published by CRI, and Crave Entertainment for the Dreamcast console. It is the sequel to AeroWings. An updated version of the game, called Aero Dancing F: Todoroki Tsubasa no Hatsu Hikō (エアロダンシングF 轟つばさの初飛行, Earo Danshingu F Todoroki Tsubasa no Hatsu Hikō, lit. "Thunder Tsubasa's First Flight"), was released for Dreamcast and Microsoft Windows only in Japan on November 16, 2000.

Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, AeroWings 2 deals with air combat training (being, in that sense, a simulation of a simulation), rather than aerial stunts.
