Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies

I doubt many of you gamers out there still have a Playstation 2, but thats what Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies is on. Its a really awesome Dog Fighting game, realistic models of planes and terrain. We bought it a really long time ago, probably a year or so after it came out but i just now beat it...

The player takes on the role of Mobius 1, an elite fighter pilot serving in the Independent States Allied Forces' (ISAF) air arm, fighting against the Eruseans who have occupied almost all of the Usea continent after an apocalyptic event in 1999. A massive asteroid, codenamed Ulysses 1994 XF-04, struck Usea, killing 500,000 people and turning many into refugees. Erusea used this as an opportunity to occupy the continent after a prolonged military buildup. They achieve military supremacy via the superweapon Stonehenge, a megastructure battery of railguns that were originally designed to destroy asteroids but have been found to be effective against airplanes as well. This allows Erusea to dominate much of the airspace over the continent giving their military a powerful strategic advantage. Consequently, ISAF has been pushed back to the eastern coast of Usea.
Between the missions the story is told through flashbacks but later revealed--I have edited out this part because it gives away the ending--by an unnamed boy whose parents were killed when a fighter jet crashed into their house in San Salvacion. This fighter jet was shot down by Yellow 13, the Erusians' top fighter pilot, and a member of the Elite Aquila Squadron, well known as Yellow Squadron. Following his parents' death the boy is taken in by his uncle, a taxi driver who lives in the city above a tavern frequented by Erusean soldiers. While in the tavern, the boy befriends Yellow 13 after meeting him and the other Yellow Squadron members. He also learns that the owner of the bar is a member of the local resistance against Erusea and becomes a "spy" for them due to his friendship with Yellow 13.
