Mission walkthrough

  1. Enter the Top Fun van

    Follow Auntie Poulet's marker to the van and take control of the RC plane. Check the on-screen pitch, turn and bomb controls for your platform. This aircraft must keep moving; it does not hover like Demolition Man's helicopter.

  2. Attack stationary targets first

    Approach a marked boat on a stable line with enough height to avoid striking it. Drop a bomb as you pass over the target, allowing for the plane's forward motion. Turn out into open space before setting up the next pass.

  3. Prioritise targets trying to escape

    When the opponents begin moving, follow their markers and lead the bombing run along their direction of travel. Trying to make a tight turn directly above a moving target often loses both height and aim. A wider loop gives a more predictable approach.

  4. Use the remaining aircraft carefully

    If a plane is lost, continue with the next available RC aircraft. You have a limited supply, so do not treat repeated crashes as free retries. Check that every marked target is destroyed before assuming the fleet has been cleared.

Key point

Stability beats frantic steering. Straighten the plane before each drop and use open water for turns, keeping clear of buildings and masts.

This mission is optional for reaching the ending, but required for 100% game completion.
