Spitfires in Space! or Aircraft inside a Rotating Habitat

Lets say we have a huge cigar shaped habitat, filled with a breathable atmosphere, and rotating on one axis at the right speed to have about 1 'g' of acceleration on the inside surface.
To give the habitat some (rather tentative and flexible) dimensions we'll say it has a Diameter of 5km, and a Length of 60km.

What would it be like to fly an aircraft (not necessarily a Spitfire) inside the habitat? What would need to be considered when flying inside the habitat? (Other than the (relative) lack of room.)
