It's not obscure but 'combination maneuver'.


From Air Force "T-38 PRECISION AEROBATICS" manual:

.........
(2) Commence the maneuver by smoothly raising the nose while keeping the wings
level. As the exhaust stacks pass the horizon, roll and pull so that the nose travels around in an
arcing path towards the selected 90E checkpoint. After 45E of turn the angle of bank should be
90E and the nose will be at its highest point during the maneuver (approximately 55­60 degrees
above the horizon)..............

Exhaust stacks on a T-38??

I agree that this isn't an ACM maneuver.  It appears to be mostly a ground reference maneuver. (although the amount of coordination it requires to perform it would certainly benefit anyone in ACM)

T-28 Trojan perhaps?

If you think about it...a perfect simple barrel roll will get you a kill many more times than a fancy climbing stall flipping magic move.

I prefer the phrase "retina-detaching".  Gets the idea across quite nicely.

LOL...yea i get the point. And your right. But i havent had any retina detatchments happen latley...hehhehe....its great to be a virtual pilot...hehehe

Still though the simple moves...the more graceful and coordinated you are with basic maneuvers will "give" you guns more than anything else. WORD!!!
