Flying around is ok, but trying to fight anything seems impossible, either I'm going so fast I can't even aim, or so slow I can't control my airplane.

Choppers I can get around better and even aim and hit stuff.
planes take some practice, and you really can't do much against ground targets with the regular jets until you unlock the rocket pods. now with the Hornet if i line up a tank and unload the rockets and then switch to guns, i can disable him in one swoop. if i use that same trick with an A-10 i can blow the tank up on a perfect run. the key though for both jets and helicopters is to spam your spot button. the range that it lets you spot in the air is huge, so just by sweeping my crosshair against the area of a flag while spamming spot i can reveal several infantry and any armor in the area. once learning that trick i've even been able to start taking out soldiers on foot with the jets
