The F16 does not have enough thrust to achieve escape velocity.  It can
only go Mach 2 in a nose dive and that is about 331 meters / second if I
am reading my Physics book right.  Escape velocity is 11 kilometers / second.
It has to do with gravity and all that, but I'm no physicist.

I would like to see a couple of things also.  Your point about being able
to choose from other planes is a good one in my opinion.  Perhaps it is possible
for someone to tweek the disk a bit and get other planes?  <Hint hint>

Also, I would like to see Electronic Counter Measures like on the pc version.
I just don't have any luck dodging those missles. 8-)

I have come across a bug (I think).  Not less than 5 separate and isolated times
have I been playing and either when I fire the machine locks up, the yoke 
position indicator starts jumping, or the screen blitzes (once).  I have tried
it with both Kickstart 1.1 and 1.2, but figure 1.2 is the right one since Jet
is newly released.  I have not had any other problems running programs on my
machine as far as I can tell.  Has anyone else experienced this, or think they
may know the cause?
