I think it was Dale Brown wrote a fsacinating novel "Flight of the Minotaur?????" or something about a fighter aircraft that was operated by the pilot precisely like that.

"Err ladies and gentlemen I am turning the seat belt on as we are going to experience a little turbulence so please return to your seats......blah blah"
