I've assigned the War Balloon a value of 4, tentatively, due to its heavy armaments.
Okay, so let's try to start. Keep your craft sheets handy.
You all rise into the air in your machines of choice, and take in the scenery. The vast morning sky lies open before you, dotted with the occasional cloud bank, a sprawling landscape beneath. And all across the sky you see tiny black and silvery dots, moving around in wide circles or darting here and there in straight lines, leaving contrails in their wake. The deep, turbulent hum of propellers and the distant whine and rumble of jet engines fills the air, alongside the staccato outbursts of machineguns and the occasional explosion. Here and there you see thick trails of greasy black smoke appearing somewhere in the sky, sometimes winding and looping, but inevitably coming to a sudden stop on the ground amidst a short-lived blossom of a black-petaled fiery flower.
It seems the furball is just starting.

Not moving
You stand in the gondola of your war balloon, ready to utterly destroy anyone foolish enough to come into range. Nobody comes for you just yet, despite you being a pretty obvious target.
There are some biplanes duking it out to the north. Many WW1-era planes are fighting closer to the ground. You hear the rumble of many engines from above. There are clouds far to the southeast.
Captain Henri Dechoirs (Digital Hellhound): Fokker V.6 TriplaneAltitude: 5
Cruising at 3, heading North
You cruise at a leisurely pace, straddling the edge of a large cumulus cloud. You can see a tight dogfight between a number of high-speed aeroplanes to the east. Several large planes are flying in formation to the west above you. Many planes seem to be fighting down below, but you can't see them very well.
The bright colors of your triplane seem to have attracted attention. A pair of aircraft are heading your way from the furball to the east. It's hard to tell, but they may be faster than you. What do you do?
Jeffrey Gamble (Harry Baldman): ParagliderAltitude: 1
Cruising at 1, heading North
You are flying slow and safe close to the ground, observing the battles in the sky.
Very few planes dip down to fight near the ground. There are several large furballs with many different planes up above: to the east, north, and southeast. There is some strong wind here. There is a large cluster of dark clouds to the far south. What do you do?
Basically give me a direction, whether you try to go faster or slower, and whether you change altitude. And of course tell me about whatever else you might be wanting to do. Remember, you get no dodge rolls here, in the classic sense.
