High-G Barrel Roll

Situation:	An enemy aircraft is close behind, closing for a gun attack.
Maneuver:	• Break hard into the attack (1).
	• Perform a barrel roll in the opposite direction. This should bleed off some speed and make the attacker overshoot (2).
	• Roll in behind the target for a gun or short-range missile shot (3).

Do a barrel roll away from the enemy; then roll back behind him for a tailpipe shot.
