Amazing what they can do with modern technology isn't it?  The message is pretty good too, music as well.

 

Big into flight simulation here.  Below is a series of 10 videos covering BFM, or "Basic Fighter Maneuvers" in one of my all time favorite flight sims, IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946.  Real world maneuvers, real world tactics, working in the sim.  Deflection gunnery in particular was preached by the U.S. Navy.  Boom and Zoom by the USAAF's heavy fighters, the P-38 and P-47.  Done correctly, you maintain your energy state, and there isn't much an enemy can do to touch you.  It also works for lightweight turn fighters like the Spitfire and Zero.  No sense in dumping energy when you don't have to.  I'd have to say that Drag and Bag is not suited for not being in communication with your wingman.  You HAVE to trust your wingman as well, as you're purposely putting your life on the line being the bait.
