When these training fights start, the goal is to get your air speed up and fly to the “enemy” jet’s turn circle, the arc they make in the sky as they try to avoid your fire. When you’re on defense, you want to make a tight turn to lose the jet behind you. On offense, you want to get as close to directly behind your target as possible so they can’t lose you. So, you roll sideways—one wing up and one down—and pull back on the stick until you can point at the other jet’s six, straight behind him, and “shoot” at him.
