Did you know that the upcoming After Burner: Black Falcon uses real world, licensed aircraft? Neither did I, until Gamespot talked to producer Ryan Kauffman. He reveals the crafts that are used in the game, such as the F-14X Tomcat, the F-15E Strike Eagle, and the F/A-18E Super Hornet. Those that know their planes may appreciate the inclusion of more modern craft, such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II.
While the vehicles of After Burner may stick true to the real world, it appears that the locations are based in fantasy. The term "reality plus one" reflects upon the level designs, which vary from a lush jungle environment, to a snowy tundra. My favorite named level? Mountainistan. Just has a nice ring to it.
We'll keep our eyes open for more info on Sega's upcoming game. After Burner hits stores March 20th.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all of the After Burner titles sport real-world aircrafts?

Kade Storm is right. I always flew an F-14, my favourite plane, no matter if I was playing at home or in the arcade.
