I feel like an idiot + Aerial terms

I need a "forehead rubbing" icon or a "face slap" icon, cause my head hurts and I feel stupid.
I might need to remove the air combat and fighter maneuver stuff from United We Soar's next chapter, save it for another chapter, and give my brain a break. It's also past 2,000 words. While I probably don't need to research so hard on something that's probably too complex for me to fathom unless I'm in the military, I am determined to find out how much I can actually get.
The rest of the chapters contains combat. Dogfighting can repetitive and can end easily. I do know that the ailerons and elevators are used a lot.
Expect a new chapter of UWS soon.
Here are some maneuver and basic forces terms (some self-explanatory):
LIFT VECTOR
LIFT
FORCE
DRAG
GRAVITY
STALL
Immelman
Flat Turn
Note: Moving through centrifugal force causes you to pull Gs.
