Remember when:
*
In TFFP-02, you learned about the purpose and position of
combat spread, as well as the concept of mutual support. In
this lesson you will see direct application of that knowledge in
advanced scenarios, such as the loose deuce and the
gunsight tracking exercises.
*
In TFFP-02 you also covered the procedures for cruise and
engaging turns. During this lesson you will receive an in-
depth look at how your energy package is managed
throughout turns.
