Well, depends how you like to fly.  Personally, I turn off the sound
altogether and turn on some good music, and keep a radar display on
hand at all times to check for missiles (as well as the missile
light).  Although this is not the "safest" way to fly, you get used to
it.  Plus, my usual missions are flying about mach 1.25 around the
mountains while fighting planes and bombing the enemy base.  It would
seem that the enemy planes and missiles have a real hard time deciding
if you are on the other side of a mountain, because missiles are
*always* being fired by them right into the mountains (even though I
am on the other side).  It is interesting to see the "explosion
debris" beneath the mountain after it has travelled right through it
(Buckaroo Banzai style, I would guess ;-).

BTW: is there a way to get Jet into multicolor mode after viewing the
medals screen (without rebooting)?  I know I have posted this before,
but I haven't received any replies yet (and with given the number of
mail replies that I send out from here that actually reach their
destination, I am not surprised).  If you tried to mail me on this, I
haven't gotten anything; please post in that case.

				Happy flying!
