Third level boss tip

Sent in by Imrik On the 3rd level, the one with all the bombers. There is a way to beat the Boss without getting hurt, it would help to clear some of the many bombers but if you don't have time, you will get a little hurt. First get to the highest elevation you can and when your above the boss on your radar dive down and fire missiles and your gun, if you do it correctly he doesn't shoot back until you get close. Keep doing this until he dies.

Hidden AAA

Sent in by Code Hunter When you start out in the cave, you start to go down. At the bottom there is a big open area. You have to get low and do half a loop, then twist yourself so you're not upside down. You might have to point the nose down a little and then you should see a grate. Fly through it without hitting it and you should see a little hole. Fly in it and your inside like a machine. Also before you go in the grate you can pull up and go to where you started. Fly out of the cave and there is AAA waiting you to blast you out of the sky! Spanky

Sent in by Code Hunter Padlock View When in Trail or Cockpit View, tap the button on the control pad. Padlock will lock onto targets in the following order: 1. Nearest Enemy Fighter 2. Enemy Boss 3. Enemy Support Vehicle 4. Friendly Boss 5. Nearest Friendly Fighter Press right on the Control Pad to lock onto the Nearest Enemy Fighter, left to lock onto the nearest Enemy Support Vehicle and top to lock onto the Enemy Boss. When dogfighting another plane, Padlock the target and turn hard for position. When you're pointing at the target, engage Trail or Cockpit View for more precise gunsight tracking. Culbit and Cobra Pull a dramatic 2Culbit,' or backflip, in the ultra-aerodynamic SU-35, FS-X or X-29. Tap the Control Stick back and press the Down C Button. Tap the Control Stick down again and tap the Up C Button. Hold the stick back and you'll flip. If you release the Control Stick after the second tap, you'll drop and slow dramatically. This move, called a 2Cobra,' is a great way to shake an enemy breathing down your neck. Once you master the Cobra, try firing on the aircraft chasing you. Don't try either move near the ground, or it could be your last! Rudder Reversal Make a fast turn in a slow aircraft, such as the F-14B, by lifting your nose at least 30 degrees, engaging your air brakes and tapping the Left or Right C button twice. With this move, you'll be skating the razor-edge of your craft's controllability. Once you commit to a Rudder Reversal, though, follow it through to the end! Bosses
