The first and only rule of air combat. Avoid light poles, or get a gunship made from lightpoles. You'll NEVER DIE!!!

Like how to use inverted and near-inverted flight to your advantage? Or how to be a really hard target to hit?

If you have an enemy on your tail:

1) Go straight up to about 500
2) Pull back so you are inverted and level with the ground.
3) Fly for about 5 - 10 seconds inverted and level with the ground.
4) Finish the flip
5) Come back on the guy who if he is like 95% of the pilots out there will be doing circles trying to figure out where you went.

Reason this works: Most people see a craft start a flip, and think they are going to immediately finish it. If you stop halfway, get some distance, and come back, you can most likely catch them off guard. Also, at the higher altitudes (400 - 600) the enemy is black against the fog, making them easy to see.
