This mission is frustrating as you have a fair bit of flying to do before you get to the Airfields and the limited attempts will get you cursing. Weather doesn't help either.

1. Don't ask me why, but I found it easier to go to the most Northerly runway first and land there using a southerly approach for all three. I also practised landing on a few fields first rather than keep flying to the runways and having to start again each time I failed. Some say you only need to touch down, cant verify that as I always landed and came to a standstill (eventually)

Landing flaps enabled, I keep my airspeed to around 96-100 mph before touch down and try to land at the start of the runway. Reduce throttle slowly, stick back but don't be tempted to pull it all the way back yet or try and slow down too quickly, apply rudder and guns firing at around 40mph and now use the stick. The trick with this seems to be allowing the plane more runway to actuall slow down and letting the plane to settle on the rear wheel naturally. I always use the rudder (a method used with flight sims that have carrier landings but where the plane has no tail hook). Now that is fun, especially if you are watching others land while you sit on the deck having already done it!
