Frustated..
 

I need help getting past the mission "nuts!" The objective is to protect a formation of planes I shoot down all enemy birds as I'm escorting a group of planes and take out every single anti-air weapons they throw at us but nothing happens the group of planes just keeps on circling Bostange(spelling?) this goes on and on... What am i doing wrong?

I had this problem the first time, too. The important thing is to keep the transport planes in sight, and to follow along with them. Don't go running away and chasing after fighters, more will come and eat up the transport planes, and you'll never even know because you're out of visual range and never see it on the map screen. Stay with the bombers!
