That's exactly what I would do. I would circle into the sky in 3rd person, viewing the whole map. As soon as I saw that red circle, it was game on. I would often get into 2v1 dogfights this way. Shoot down both enemies...circle the carrier, wait for respawn, fly behind the carrier and kick back the throttle, so I can shoot them just enough seconRAB after takeoff that I still get points for not spawn-killing. If someone got frisky and thought they were good, I would fly straight up to gain altitude faster than them. It's not possible to stall the planes in that game, you can literally go straight up like a rocket. Then... back to 3rd person, find the noob, ruin him.
