Piston Fighters may be old, equipped only with machine guns (and other ground-based weapons), slow, and weak, but they are easy to master and easy to fly with. Because of the addition of Piston Fighters, a new aircraft restriction is added on the multiplayer as well as the new Retro Combat Evaluation mission where Piston Fighters are allowed.

Yaya Dub unexpectedly fainted and if things get even worse, an unexpected voice has heard. A voice that says "Lola". Who could it be? Keep watching Eat Bulaga and find out!
TTFN!!!
