Why not develop a flight sim along with software engineered for movie and /or documentry applications. Modern Warfare has a huge following for its on-line land battles with some air warefare, although very arcadeish. However, you get the point.

Electronic Arts buys small and not so small software companies constantly. Look at SIMS an obscure idea for a niche, that turned out to be the all time leading game/sim of all times. It can be done, just not in Russia.
I hope EA don't get involved. I don't think they will. They bought out the original Air Warrior which was undergoing upgrading and had a large online following.... and then promptly closed it down, presumably because it wouldn't deliver the volume sales they were looking for.
