I bet you don't.
And whilst you may think you can hide in a valley, you are totally predictable ... it's not rocket science to interpret raw radar cut off and translate the picture onto a map - navs have been trained in this for years ...

Day VMC: do all the turning you want, I'll sit at 10-12k and watch... and wait for my shot. And I bet none of your crew can see me up at height.
Night: Much much harder for the FJ to VID, but we have goggs too ...

Up to 1-2nm (10-12k), vertically upwards with 90 deg aob??

Nope. And I agree that any ht from 20' up to 30k+ puts a FJ in harm's way ... not a comfortable place to be at all.
