All aircraft:
Use the following steps to unlock all aircraft, including special colors.
First, acquire an aircraft by destroying it in battle. This is easy, except
for three aircraft. Forget the ground targets and dogfight instead, which
is the true nature of an ace. You can acquire three different paint schemes
for each aircraft. Two of the paint schemes can be acquired by destroying
that color aircraft in battle. To acquire the special brightly colored third
aircraft, you must find and kill the pilot flying it. On each level of the
game there is a single hidden aircraft (eighteen total hidden aircraft).
Each one of these aircraft has a specific pilot. When you see the aircraft
in front of you and lock on, it will display the pilot's name next to the
aircraft name and lock on square. For example, "S-37A SMIRNOVA".
The hidden aircraft will not show up on radar until you get nearby. On radar,
the aircraft will be marked with a red triangle instead of yellow. Each
hidden aircraft is always in the same place on their specific level. This
is always in an empty spot on the map away from the main combat zone. The
aircraft can usually be found directly behind the main combat zone. Last
but not least are the three remaining aircraft. To acquire the Yellow Squadron
fighter (SU-37) of your nemesis Yellow-13, you must kill all of the pilots
with names flying the special colored aircraft (eighteen total).

To unlock the X-02 Stealth, get an "S" rank on all 18 missions under normal mode.
You can get the Tiger Striped F-4E by completing the game once under any
difficulty setting, then using the Sp. Continue option. To unlock the second
X-02 aircraft you must get an "S" rank on all eighteen missions
under the hard difficulty setting. The third X-02 is unlocked by getting
an "S" rank on all eighteen missions under the expert difficulty
setting.

Alternate colors:
Successfully complete the game in ace mode. Note: You may also need to obtain
S-class for all missions.
