Sky Kid
Take off, fight through enemy aircraft and pick up a bomb for the mission target, then land at base; carrying the bomb temporarily removes your looping maneuver.

About this game
Fly from a base into the mission, using the machine gun and loops to deal with enemies along the route. During the flight, a touch-and-go pickup equips the bomb needed to destroy the assigned target. The bomb changes your options: you cannot loop while carrying it. Choose the approach to the target with that restriction in mind, release the bomb and aim to land at the base to complete the mission. The flight has a destination beyond simply clearing the next enemy.
