As a fan of flight sims, I found this interesting since Stealey is a flight guy and it sounds like a lot of people involved were in the U.S. Air Force.

(I believe Stealey was one of the designers for Apache back in the '90's; Apache was an excellent helo sim, great fun to play, and very immersive for a single-player game; I dimly recall watching squads of soldiers scurry away from my chain gun as I popped up over the hill I was hiding behind to launch my hellfires at those pesky T-72s.)

Sounds very interesting, I'll judge when (and if) it hits the shelves.
