gibberingtroper: It just seems wrong to name this after something from Harry Potter. This is a trope built up over decades, present in movies about fighter pilots and their space borne equivalents; so we've named it after a maneuver used in a game that is basically polo on flying brooms. Really? Is that really what we're going to do?

This was the subject of a long discussion which is still in the archives. The short version is that nobody has yet proposed a better name.

I would say that this should probably be split into its component tropes: The Canyon Run, the Suicide Dive, and the Missile Return. Or thereabouts.
