How do you make a plane spawn to the air at the training arena?
Bypassing takeoff...
Adding ords... :salute

There are several in the TA terrain. Most notable are in the bombing area.
Takeing off S in a level bomber will give you a 20k airstart.
Rolling I believe N in a fighter will do the same. Puts you out over the target at 20k, gear down, engine off falling through the air.

Be advised, sometimes this can lead to a bad spin. Great for learning spin recovery, though :)

From Intro to the Training Arena (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/trainingarena/trainingarena.htm) at http://trainers.hitechcreations.com (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com)
We have 4 Bishop owned fields in the bombing zone, with field altitudes from 5,000 to 20,000 feet in 5,000 foot increments. To save flight time these fields are equipped with "air spawns" that will spawn you over the enemy target areas at the altitude of the field you launched from.
To the north is the dive bombing area. To make use of the air spawns to that area, simply go to one of those 4 fields, select a fighter from the hangar, and press the NW button under the "Start Flight" area of the clipboard. You will instantly be spawned at altitude 2 sectors north of the field. You will start out at zero airspeed initially, so be prepared to nose down and retract gear (g key) quickly so you can gain enough airspeed for controlled flight.
To the south is the level bombing area. To air spawn to that area, you must have a bomber selected from the hangar, and select the S button from "Start Flight". Again, you will spawn at 0 mph so be prepared to gain controlled flight quickly.
Air spawns can be difficult for newer players to get control of, especially in bombers. If you are not comfortable with using the air spawns, you may select any runway other than the two mentioned above to spawn normally on the runway. When launching normally from the runway, you may still save transit time since the fields are at altitude, and you do not have to spend time climbing.

Thanks, perfect. :rock
