Mission walkthrough

  1. Meet Toreno

    Start the ranch mission and listen to the instruction to acquire the airstrip. This is a property-purchase objective, not an aircraft theft.

  2. Go to the airstrip

    Drive to Verdant Meadows and locate the property-purchase marker. Keep the required $80,000 available rather than spending it on another safehouse first.

  3. Purchase and save

    Use the purchase control to acquire the airfield. Make a save at the new base, then go to the flying-school marker to begin Learning to Fly.

Key point

Buying the airstrip does not automatically complete flight training. The ten flying-school lessons form the next mandatory mission.
