GTA San Andreas N.O.E. Mission Walkthrough

Toreno’s agents need equipment and he cannot deliver it himself. CJ flies a loaded Rustler low across the map to a drop in Angel Pine, staying under the radar, then returns to the airstrip to land.

Before you start

Practice your take-offs and landings first, since you must land the plane on the strip at the end.

Fly at low altitude, because the radar is the main danger.

Objectives

Get in the Rustler.
Fly low to stay under the radar.
Fly into the corona to trigger the drop.
Return to the airfield and land.
Bring the plane to a stop anywhere on the landing strip.

A new problem

At the airstrip, Toreno grabs CJ from behind and tells him that his agents will die without equipment. He cannot deliver it himself because rival agents are watching him, so he asks CJ to fly it. Toreno warns that CJ is not ready for a high flight and points out where the rivals are watching.

Take off and stay low

Climb into the loaded Rustler and take off. A visibility bar and a timer appear on screen. Stay low, because if you climb past the radar limit the visibility bar rises and Toreno warns you. He suggests you use the canyon as cover. Keep the plane just above the ground and turn gently, because a sudden climb can expose you.

Follow the coast

Fly west toward the coast, then follow it north on a low line over the water, where there is no terrain to climb over. The sea gives good cover from the radar, so stay close to the surface. When the warning text says Above radar limit, drop altitude at once. Watch the timer, which counts down the whole trip.

The drop

A red corona marks the drop zone above Angel Pine. Fly into it to trigger the drop, then turn back toward Bone County. The return is the same careful low flight, with the sea and then the canyons to hide you. If you stray over towns or high ground the visibility will build up again.

Land at the airstrip

Follow the radar back to Verdant Meadows. Line up with the runway, lower the landing gear and slow down. You can stop anywhere on the landing strip, so a rough touchdown is fine as long as the plane survives. Once you stop, Toreno congratulates you.
