Looking for the name of a game where you play a low-flying “hovercraft” in top-down view

Question

I'm looking for the name of a game I've played a long time ago. Things I remember:

  • Top-down view. It looked nice, don't recall if it was 3D or just good quality sprites.
  • Playing as some sort of flying vehicle, hovercraft-like.
  • Aim with the mouse, click to shoot. IIRC enemies were both aerial and ground-based.
  • The vehicle was flying low, so small trees could be cleared but tall trees would block movements.
  • At the start / end of each level, the vehicle would take off / land.

EDIT:

  • Platform: PC
  • Time frame: somewhere between 1995 and 2000, I guess. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a DOS game.
  • Not a scroll shooter: you could roam around freely, move back into visited areas of the level, etc. Though I don't remember that the levels were particularly large.
  • I don't think it was a well-known game, and I don't know if it had a console version.

Perhaps Firefight by ChaosWorks?
