   I'm still working on getting past the 6th mission.  I've done it once, but
don't know how.  Regarding the F-16's mission, I've done that one without
firing at the MIG's first.  For the rescue mission, I always launch from the
carrier and stay level, hit the afterburner and turn directly for the island.
Once I'm within 10 miles or so of the island, slow to 40%-50% power, and 
stay under 100 feet.  Magnify to 4x, and point straight at the downed pilot.
You can see his chute in front of the island, a little to the right I believe.
Then I change the view to look from the behind right view (returning to normal
magnification), and eye-ball the drop.  Sometimes I'll lower the gear to slow
down more.  If you miss, you've got to return to the carrier to get another 
rescue kit.  
  Does anyone know exactly what needs to be done for the 6th mission?  I've hit
that carrier with all 6 missiles, every round in the guns, and even landed on 
the blasted thing, to no avail.  I've gotten by it once, but I haven't the 
foggiest how I did it.
