Course Description:
This is a marathon style race.
You will be expected to launch and land successfully at each staging point to complete the race.
If you crash, start over.  If you are behind, keep trying, the lead plane may crash and they will also have to start over.
Anything other than a Landed Successfully message when you exit the plane or vehicle is a fail, and you must start over
at the field you just left from.  Example, Ditch at A28, restart at C35 and head back to A28.

The race starts at C35.
 
Launch an LVTA2 and head to A28.  Exit Successfully anywhere on the field.

Launch A28 in a Yak9u, stay to the left of A28 Town Flag, circle around to the right, pass to the right of A25 Town Flag, left of A24 Town Flag, then right of A22 Town Flag and then land successfully at A22.

Launch A22 in a Jeep from the hanger, stay to the right of A22 Town Flag, then head towards the beach and drive to A21.  Land successfully anywhere on A21.

Launch A21 in a F1 Camel and head to A20.  Stay to the left of the A21 Town Flag. Stay to the right of the A20 Town Flag, then turn to the airfield and land. Exit Successfully at A20.

Launch A20 in an ME262 and stay to the left of A20s Town Flag.  Head South, staying to the Right of the A23 Town Flag, then Left of A26 Town Flag, then land at A26.

Launch A26 in an F4UC and make best speed to C35 and complete the race by successfully landing on the carrier.

Special Conditions:

This is a Marathon Race, staying around the Town Flags as noted is the only condition. Find the best path, best route, best place to land and exit your plane or vehicle in order to get a Landed Successfully message.  The race isn't just about who can fly the fastest, but who can launch and land.

If you do not get Landed Successfully, start back at the field you just left, and run that section again.  Keep trying, the pilots ahead of you may very well mess up their landing and you can get back to the lead.

Land wheels down.  You might crunch your gear, but drop them and attempt the landing. Again, if you damage your plane, break the wing, crunch your gear but get Landed Successfully, you are good to go onto the next leg of the marathon.
