Maverick Simulation

Combat Air Patrol

Combat Air Patrol is a flight simulation featuring the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet during Operation Desert Storm. Players launch from an aircraft carrier, receive mission briefings, and execute combat operations. The game offers aircraft configuration options, pilot selection, and a unique feature allowing players to call in sick to skip missions—though excessive use may raise command suspicion. It features a realistic flight model with animations. The PC version focuses on flight operations, while the Amiga version includes strategic ground operation control alongside aerial support missions.
