Ace Combat 5 - Mission 16B: Desert Lightning (Ace - S Rank) 

The counterpart to Desert Arrow, you gain access to this mission by saying No to Chopper at the end of White Noise. While Arrow is air-focused, Lightning will have you deal with many ground targets, for this, the F-16XL was my choice, it does have a desert camo too!
This mission is packed with a lot of targets, don't feel forced to go for all of them, but if you do, don't be afraid to use every last bullet you have, you'll need all of your ammo.
Phase 2 puts you against a Battleship accompanied with other surface-to-air weapons, as well as two planes, shoot down these two to make the EA-18G Ace, Abelcain, appear at the Western Edge of the map. Shoot him down before destroying every target in sight to complete your mission.
