Four cards on this Aviator sortie

Why the ranking stops at four App Store flight listings — and what that choice protects.

Length is a filter

A longer Aviator list would be easy to pad with near-duplicates. Four forces a spread: paper flight, modern jets with ads, a river shooter, and a WW2 hangar title. Each gets a written review or it does not ship on the page.

Facts stay dated

Every card on the home ranking ends with the checked date 30 September 2026. Apple does not publish install counters, so none appear here. Ratings, ages, sizes, and version lines are copied from the live listings, not guessed.

What stayed off the sortie

I looked at other combat flyers that repeated the same free-jet pitch without a clearer store card or a review I was willing to write. They stay off the shortlist rather than diluting rank No. 3 and No. 4.

Where to go next

Open the ranking, skim the methodology, or jump into a per-app review from the log. Installs always continue on the App Store — never on this site.
