Are you ready to earn your wings at the most exclusive flight school in the world? Then report immediately to the secret Pilotwings Flight Club, where your training begins! You'll see the ground twist beneath you as you jump from your plane and attempt a precision skydive (don't forget to pull your rip cord!). You'll relive the early days of flying as you bring your biplane in for a pin-point landing. After you master the basics, you'll be called on to test an experimental rocket pack, soar in a hang glider, and pilot an advanced attack helicopter in a hazardous rescure mission.
The realism is incredible as the Super NES takes you airborne with multi-dimensional graphics, endless skylines and the freedom to fly wherever you like. Do you have what it takes to earn your wings? Then get going! You're late for your first class!

Did anyone play Pilotwings on the SNES? I got it as a kid from a yard sale. I barely played it back then but I've picked it up recently and I'm really enjoying it
It really speaks to how simple games can be extremely entertaining. Who knew that flying through rings could actually be fun? I'm looking (angrily) at you, …

I own the cartridge and played it fairly extensively back in the 90s. It was reasonably fun though with too much emphasis on flying through rings and doing very specific things rather than more freeform fun. I do not remember how far I got and I am not inclined to play it again.
