Wings Over Israel was released in 2008 as part of the Strike Fighters series of "lite" flight simulators developed by Third Wire Productions.
The developer improved on its existing Strike Fighters engine and thus the game was another step forward in terms of quality and gameplay.
Despite the "lite" tag, a fair amount of realism has been built into the game; 1960s-style bombsights are simulated for the pre-1970s aircraft rather than modern computer-aided aiming reticules.
This flight can be issued various commands: attack other aircraft or ground targets, fly home if they are damaged, or jettison their drop tanks.
Flying over Egyptian or Syrian territories, the player's aircraft will be met with a high level of radar-guided Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM), and a variety of lethal Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA).
