* The Vulture Squadron does this on a regular basis on ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''. A glaring instance is from "Sky-Hi I.Q." where Zilly is slingshotted towards the pigeon with a bird cage attached to his plane. He's close but then he is catapulted back, the ekastic snaps and he crashed smack into Dick Dastardly's plane.

* ''VideoGame/DakkaSkwadron'': Ramming enemy planes is a valid combat maneuver (it ''is'' a game about orks flying planes after all), although they have to be close enough for it to work (thankfully it's made easier via QuickTimeEvent).
