Pretty much just like when you're using Oculus. The fights seem a little like slo-mo.
Flight Leader: "Bogeys at 2 o'clock!"
Wingman: "Roger, It's 1:30 now, what do I do 'til then?"

Testing the climb rate of the AH Yak-3:

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Those look like Yak trainers (circa 1970s) like Yak-50/52's. Which explains why they are slower ( http://50-is-the-new-30.blogspot.com/2010/08/flying-in-frostys-yak-52.html )

sigh Yak-3 joyrides... near me... dat price  :(
