description Airborne Overview

Airborne is a Capcom solid-state pinball machine released in 1996 with an aviation and air-show theme. Designed by Claude Fernandez, it uses ramps and habitrails together with an injector mechanism that influences the ball's route and an airport tower target. Pinball databases record a limited production run of about 1,350 machines, so the game is primarily encountered by pinball players and collectors rather than as a current commercial product.
