If you testfly the Spitfire in the museum, go out and drop both 500 lb. bombs and shoot away almost all of your ammo (leave about 9 rounds) then hit CTRL-A-E to shut down the engines. It will turn your plane into a big bird with a huge bomb under your belly. (It may take a few times but it does work.)

Computer pilots usually push their fighters to the edge of the envelope but stop short of blackout or redout maneuvers. This gives you an edge in the desperation maneuver category, but don't push it to the point where you lose consciousness completely.
