## Walkthrough

This mission is essentially a repeat of To the Front Lines so there's not much here to mention other than the fact that there are a few differences: While To the Front Lines featured bullet-firing ZSU-23 AAAs, this mission features missile-launching PAC-3s, so you should be a bit more careful. The planes here are also different.

## Walkthrough

Another repeat of a previous hidden mission. In this case, it's one of Pinpoint, though this time there are missile-launching PAC-3s instead of bullet-firing ZSU-23 AAAs, so be careful. You also have to shoot down two fighter jets here, as opposed to just one in Pinpoint.

Now this mission here's a repeat of The Glass Scale. Here, however, you must shoot down two fighter jets, instead of just one and, as with most other Chapter 2 repeats of hidden missions from Chapter 1, there are missile-launching PAC-3s here rather than ZSU-23 AAAs, so, again, be careful.

### Reward(s)

50,000 credits + variable amount depending on the number of enemies taken out and, in the case of the planes, how they were taken out

### Unlocked by

Taking out all enemies in the Intercept mission furthest south from Febris Airbase with the MiG-1.44 MFI without taking any damage.

**Destroy the Aerial Base** is the eighth and final hidden mission that can be unlocked in *Airforce Delta Storm*.

## Walkthrough

This mission plays similarly to A Lingering Afterglow in that you must take out ground targets that are mostly standing individually. There are a couple of differences though. First of all, there are three PAC-3s you must destroy, unlike A Lingering Afterglow which involved destroying only two. Second, the targets are even further spread out across the map than they were in A Lingering Afterglow, making this mission slightly more difficult, but not much.

## Reward

The reward for this mission is 50,000 credits plus a variable amount depending on the number of enemies taken out and, in the case of the planes in the PAL version, how they were taken out. The JSF X-32 is unlocked for 620,000 credits.

## Trivia

* The base targets that appear in Pinpoint and Blinded appear to be modelled after the AA Radar target from Mobile Infantry in the original *Airforce Delta*.
* In the NTSC-U version, all of these missions have a time limit of ten minutes. In the PAL and NTSC-J versions, however, they all have a time limit of seven minutes instead.
