A hard stunt is to start off across the runway straight towards the tower,
snap roll burying the cockpit below ground (without crashing), touching down
and lifting off *before* you reach the tower itself. 

An easier but fun flight is to take off from the runway, pull immediately
into a vertical climb, cut power, continue the loop and land as close as
possible to the same end you took off from.  Repeat at the other end
without stopping.

And while we're at it, why not have a version of dog that allows "manned"
anti-aicraft emplacements on the tower, buildings or ground?
The mouse controls elevation and orientation with a steady stream of 20mm
fire while a mouse button is held down. Heck, why not make them movable AA
batteries....
