Six Basic Maneuvers (somewhat large video - non-broadband users should shy away)

Granted, he's talking atmospheric maneuvers, which are entirely dependent on airspeed, which is a litoral nonfactor in spaceflight (due to the lack of air resistance and the fact that our simulated engines produce a constant level of energy), as speed is near-constant.

Still, it's a nice blend of model explanation with actual examples performed in actual aircraft.

All I get is sound. Id love to see it. Is it me or is somthing wrong with the video?

It might be that you don't have the DiVX codec loaded...

Along those lines, i've always found this bit about Basic Fighter Maneuvers intresting reading.

Cool... I can tell there is a lot of information here but I may need to watch it a few more times to get it.

Thanks!
