Crimson Skies was actually originally a PC game and it's sequel was the Xbox version. So if you're fixing for more Crimson Skies action, that's the game to track down. Be warned, however, that it wasn't a very great game. High Road to Revenge was definitely the highlight of the series.
As far as the PS2 is concerned, the Ace Combat series is probably the best combat flight game you'll find on that system (and really the best combat flight game series period since all the other franchises have died). It's a lot more realistic than Crimson Skies though. That said, it's still an arcade flight sim so you won't have to worry about extremely limited ammo and controls that require attending flight school to master, but you also won't be doing any of the ridiculous manuvers you could do in Crimson Skies or using any wacky planes with even wackier weapons.
I had asked this question a year back or so. I've yet to try Ace Combat. Check out skygunner for the PS2. Sometimes it's hard to find at a gamestop so ebay's your best bet.
