This was a pretty good early dogfight simulation game, considering it came out in the Atari computer's early days. When you successfully complete a mission, you're given a name for your pilot to use: either ACE or KILLER, the latter of which gives you better planes/weaponry at your disposal for a greater tactical advantage. It's been ages since I last played, but IIRC, if your plane is damaged and you have to bail out, hit the ESC key to jettison and P to deploy your parachute. Timing is critical in landing safely, and you get to see your free-fall from the skies from your pilot's POV.
