You can do something wich is quite fun actually. Press 0 as a starting
location (or 5 to 9 'cause they are also defined), anyway choose the one
which is the most near the border of the Map. Then take off and fly in on
the border of the map (try to come in on a 90 degrees angle with the
imaginary map limit). When you reach the limit your plane won't go any
further, that is, the background won't move any further. Now comes the fun
part. Switch to rear outside view and fly close to the ground. Since the
computer does not have to bother with background calculations, your plane
will move and feel very fast. You can take off like a chopper with full
afterburners. Well, play and experiment with it, you can do lot's of
things. (flying next to your missiles is fun).
