Story premise: It is 1983, and the Vietnam War has been over for 6 years, but in the middle-east, there is a civil war raging. In the kingdom of Asran, a group of mercenary pilots launch from a hidden airbase in the desert to tackle those whom they are paid to kill.
Area 88 is known to most military organisations, yet it's actual location is kept a secret. Mercenary pilots from all over the world gravitate towards it for various reasons, none of which are frowned apon by the base's commander, one Saki Vashtal. However, the thing about Area 88 is that it's much harder to leave than it is to get in. Everyone who joins has three ways out
1: Earn $1.5 million in kills and successful missions. Quite difficult, as the payment depends apon the target's skill
2: Serve your 3 year contract. Again, quite difficult. Almost dayly sorties and dogfights mean that most pilots have to be extremely luck to survive one year, let alone 3
3: Feet first. Yes. They only other way out is death. And the mercenaries live with the knowledge that, unless they can complete one of the first two, then number 3 is what they have to look forward to. Even dessertion isn't an option, as stray too far, and your mercenary friends soon become your worst enemies, assigned to shoot you down.
Still, men and women come to do battle in the skies of the war-torn kingdon of Asran.

Ok, well now that bit is over with, who would be interested in this? All I ask for is a basic character description, and what type of fighter they pilot. Heck, doesn't even have to be a fighter! Bombers and recon planes are available too! And let your imagination go wild, as the 88'ers come from all countries and all nationalities, not to mention all kinds of pasts...
If you need a hand with ideas, use this as a basic specsheet
