Hmm, possibly. That name doesn't ring any bells, but I can't guarantee I
ever knew the correct name anyway :-)
I've seen various games on other platforms which had the same sort of
concept (Harrier Attack on the speccy springs to mind), but I remember
the graphics on this C64 game being particularly good and it being later
on in the evolution of such games on the 80's 8-bit machines, probably
around 1984 or so.
Looking at the screenshots of Raid over Moscow, I really can't remember
if the cityscape in the game I'm thinking of was forced-perspective or
just a side-on view. Grumble grumble...
I'll collect any names people come up with together though and pass them
all on to this guy anyway as there's always a chance I'm not thinking of
the same game that he is!
cheers!

"When we had a Commodore 64 some time ago
there was a game on it that
involved a little plane flying over some buildings i think and your
plane then tried to level these to get to the next level of the game.
Can't remember what it was called and if posssible we would like to buy
a copy of the game for our computer now."
Anyway, memory cells tell me "Raid over Moscow" as a name
