The Descending Bomb Burst

This is a variation of the bomb-burst. Instead of meeting close to the ground and climbing, you meet at a high altitude and finish as close to the ground as possible. This is performed flying down as opposed to climbing.

• Two planes start at opposite ends of the area at 10,000 feet. (1)
• Roll inverted and fly towards each other. (2)
• As you approach each other, pull back on the stick until you're in a 90-degree dive, belly to belly. (3)
• On the command of the leader, both pull back hard on the stick until level flight is reached. (4)
