	Dodging missiles:

	I have found a good way to dodge the Mig missiles that is
somewhat in accordance with the strategy documented in the
instruction manual:

	 When the missiles are about 10 miles from you, press the 's'
	button to switch yourself to the spotter plane mode.
	Then in this mode pull up hard and leave yourself ascending
	vertically.  (make sure you are at full throttle).

	By pressing the zoom out key , you will see the
	missiles fly by and miss you.  The odd thing is that they
	fly by ABOVE you instead of missing below you.

	For some reason (perhaps psychological) I have managed to dodge
	more missiles in the spotter plane view than in the cockpit view.

	The problem with this strategy is that you soon run out
	of air speed and begin stalling.  So to dodge some more,
	try plummetting to the ground in the same manner and pulling
	up and so on.

	Now if only we have time in between to fire at the enemy...
