Area 88 takes place between the late 1970s to early 1980s and is largely set in a war-embroiled Middle Eastern country called the Kingdom of Asran (alternatively transcribed as "Aslan" or "Arslan"). The war uses mercenary fighter pilots, with its headquarters at a secret desert air force base called Area 88. Up-and-coming airline pilot Shin Kazama gets tricked into signing up by his friend Satoru Kanzaki. Facing execution for deserting from Area 88, Shin reluctantly becomes a fighter pilot and attempts to serve his three-year contract. read more

Description of Greg Gates:

Greg is a Danish-American pilot who quit his job at Northwest Airlines to become a mercenary. A retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel and native of Prescott, Arizona, he flew various USAF jets like the A-10, F-15, F-16, and F-22, and was a member of the Thunderbirds stunt team. He was also an exchange tactics advisor for the Royal Danish Air Force. On one occasion, he helped rescue hostages from a terrorist attack in Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, aided by commandos from the Danish Army Jaeger Corps (Special Forces). He obtained his B.S. in Mathematical Sciences from the Air Force Academy. A raging alcoholic on the sidelines, there's no drink that's tasteless for him!
