The launch trailer for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. shows how heavy the air-to-air combat action is going to get, with an attack on the White House and a missile aimed at Air Force One.

Of course it isn't the real White House or Air Force one. This is the White House and Air Force One of an alternate-reality 2014, where the state-sponsored military has been replaced with private armies, who can get things done the way only private armies could - with tons of explosions.

Unfortunately the release coincides with me packing up all my things and moving to a new apartment, but once I am settled the flight sticks are definitely coming out of storage.
