[[In Which a Trope Is Described|In which]] the hero of a video game has to go up in the sky and defeat the enemy. It can be as simple as a dogfight between planes/airships, or as complex as fighting enemies at a [[Levels Take Flight|flying fortress]] in an all-out war. If the heroes and their opponents have the power of [[Flight]] to achieve this, this will lead to [[Air Jousting]]. If they are falling from the sky instead, well, [[Free-Fall Fight|that's another trope]]. |

** It also has several segments where you're required to do something in the air. Two of the levels are part ground, part [[Independence Day]]-like missions that involve you sending air units (jets, bombers, etc) to destroy the enemy's air support. Unfortunately, after the battle up there is over your air units are stuck in that location; you're given CO Power for each survivor, generally enough to give you a Tag Break. One of the later levels isn't necessarily this trope, but still requires you to destroy a satellite in space with ground-to-orbit missiles. |
