Aero Elite: Combat Academy, known in Japan as Aero Dancing 4: New Generation (エアロダンシング4 ニュージェネレーション, Earo Danshingu 4 Nyū Jenerēshon), is a combat flight simulator developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega for PlayStation 2. It is the fourth and final game in the AeroWings/Aero Dancing series. It features over 60 planes to fly (including Mig 29, SU27, Mirage2000, Harrier, A10, Tornado, etc.) and new features like the "scramble" mode - a random interception mission where a player must take off, intercept an unknown intruder plane, take pictures to identify it, then return to the base and land to finish the mission.
