Airborne Assault

"Airborne Assault" is the third mission of the Sons of Samedi arc in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
Laura meets Playa and Shaundi in the Saints Hideout and explains that making Loa Dust won't be a problem - she'll give the recipe to Shaundi. Shaundi remembers that she once dated a guy who used to sell for the Sons of Samedi and that he once mentioned they used to grow "all their shit" on a farm near campus. Playa decides to burn the farm down and cripple the Sons of Samedi's drug production, but Laura is one step ahead and phones her husband, Tobias, who is a helicopter pilot.
After Tobias and Playa raze the farm and kill several lieutenants, The General and Mr. Sunshine drop in on Veteran Child at a music store. As Veteran Child was the person who told Shaundi the location of the drug farm, The General demands that he deal with the 3rd Street Saints, or else Mr. Sunshine will burn him alive.
===Story===
==Gameplay==
The mission takes place in the back of a Side Shooter being flown by Tobias.
The Side Shooter has a mounted AR200 SAW with infinite ammunition.
;
Shoot and destroy six pieces of equipment located on the farm:
*Chemical storage tank
*Chemical depot
*Fertilizer truck
*Fuel truck
Tobias circles the farm until all equipment is destroyed. Although some of the Sons of Samedi located on the farm have RPG Launchers, the Side Shooter can take a fair amount of damage, so ignore them and prioritize the equipment when they come into view. There are strategically placed barrels located around the farm - destroy them when the enemies gather around and there is nothing else to shoot at.
;
Afterwards, two vehicles filled with lieutenants try to escape. Tobias flies alongside them, so shoot at the vehicles until they both explode. Another two vehicles show up after crossing the bridge and reaching campus; shoot these until they explode too. Despite being open-top vehicles, the drivers here cannot be killed by shooting them - the whole car must be destroyed. The mission ends when all four vehicles have been destroyed.

==Trivia==
* Tobias is not automatically recruited as a Homie but can be recruited by pressing the Recruit button.
** Dismissing him once recruited has no effect.
* The helicopter used in this mission is a Side Shooter - a helicopter with a similar appearance to the Oppressor, but has a more detailed interior and lacks a tail. The helicopter only appears in this mission and "Waste Not Want Not".
* The Septic Avenger on the farm is a normal variant, but it is likely that it was originally intended to be the otherwise unobtainable Samedi Poo variant.
* Individual occupants of the vehicles holding the Sons of Samedi lieutenants cannot be killed; the whole vehicle must be destroyed.
* The CD that Mr. Sunshine gives back to Veteran Child in the "Music Lovers" cutscene is "The Other Six" by Aisha.
* It is impossible to lose fleeing lieutenants out of sight - they continue driving around Sommerset until their vehicles are destroyed.
