I get kinda pumped when I hear the whistles.
It's also simple enough that you can turn the stereo on and not have the game music clash too much with it.
Sometimes I have The Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner playing in the background. It works really well with this game!

I've found that you get a 20k bonus for having a hit percentage of 96%-98%. I haven't been able to do better--I almost finished a level where I missed only 2 planes, but I didn't quite finish--I bet that would've been 99%...Per the MAME history.dat, you get 20k for 99% hits, but you get 10k for 100% hits...in other words, let the last plane go by!?!!??
You certainly *can* move left & right continuously throughout the entire loop process. At least I can...

My highest is 197k about a year ago. I just got 190k right now.

There is a known bug where getting 100% displays only a 10k bonus, but it actually awards you with 50k. I did the math (the one time I actually got 100% on a level) and verified this bug.

Got farther than ever. Saw a large gray plane--hadn't seen one of those before. Also got 98% on the easy level where the small bad guys don't shoot. Thought for sure that I had 99%...
Having trouble being able to see the bullets against the forest background--that got me a few times...
