The aircraft rules included with the Nautical/Aviation Handbook are fully compatible with Twilight: 2000 and all GDW roleplaying games that use the Twilight: 2000 system (Dark Conspiracy¸ Merc: 2000¸ and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs). Rules are included for air-to-air¸ air-to-ground¸ and ground-to-air combat¸ in-flight refueling¸ ditching¸ crash-landing¸ and parachute drops (both personnel and equipment).
