You realize Area 88 was an Anime and Manga
Not sure if you know this, but there is a manga which became an anime about a bunch of mercenaries fighting arieal combat wars in the Middle East called Area 88. I honestly thought that you were going to try and do that show with the characters from the manga.
Anyhow, the movie itself was rather meh. Animation wasn't that impressive, pacing was slow, spelling was awful...Not a very good flash, but not a very bad one.
