When I was a GM, I played fast and loose with aircraft availability, but in "real" t2K, you may have some ultralights, gyrocopters, things like the occasional Piper Cub or Pilatus PC-6, and very rarely, more modern aircraft like the larger helicopters or perhaps some light jet aircraft or heavier prop-driven aircraft. They would not be as common as in my GM universe I had when I was GMing.

we tried our hand at it - it is quite fun but rules need to be tweaked somewhat to get meaningful duels in the sky.

In our game the players started out re-developing old WWI aircraft using whatever parts and materials could be made or scrounged. This led to a niece little air war that rapidly escalated into more WWII -ish stuff as General Pain reinvented the "Not-Jager Programme" - the emergency fighter program with jets etc .

They still have a few aircraft left ( how are the mighty fallen) of various types..

Oh, I should mention "my" view of Orlando in T2k has the local MilGov cantonment forces with a couple of flyable helos. Loooots of avgas around the area, not a bunch of qualified pilots or flyable a/c. Some folks from Embry-Riddle made it to Orlando and helped the local authorities get two flying.

Write us something. We've been a little dry lately.
