BLUE ANGELS puts you in the cockpit of a Navy F/A-18 Hornet, ready to perform any or all of the precision flight maneuvers -- including the "Knife Edge Pass" and the "Diamond Fleur-de-lis" -- that have thrilled more than 210 million airshow spectators since 1946.
A three-dimensional view of the required flight profile can be rotated and studied from all angles prior to attempting the maneuver; then, as you fly the simulator, wire-frame flight profile guides show you the way.
With the exception of the Spacebar (to pause) and F1 (to return to the Main Menu), the joystick controls flight: The stick alone moves the F/A-18 up and down, and banks left and right; with the button pressed, the stick accelerates and brakes, and rolls left and right.

I would recommend, if any of you are angel investing, that you consider doing the same thing, because that ensures that—whatever the terms of subsequent rounds—you can at least protect your interests, if you still believe in the company.
