I go up in plane of choice and head to the base to help attack, get a mission up posted from fbbob or jayro, see the base was taken by knights(my team) and then if I'm not too far turn around and land as fast as possible, no flaps, gear creaking and land or ditch to get to the real action. If I'm almost to base that was being attacked I'll look for stragglers or go to the next one. Sometimes after 15 min. Of flying to a fight and not seeing any action on the map I'll bail to get to a fight that is happening. This usually happens when I first start when the game is un populated, early morning, late at night.
