The PC version allowed head-to head dogfighting using a null modem cable.

The real F22 on the box covers looks nothing like the (fictional) F22 that is actually in the game. Contrary to what many believe, the F29 does exist, as the X29 experimental aircraft and, in contrast to the above mentioned F22, the F29 and the real X29 look the same.

This game is widely regarded as being quite bugged. One amusing example is that even after ejecting, the player still has control of the plane, so it's actually possible to hit him/herself with it.
