Story
Mission Briefing

You are our best pilot, tasked with a top-secret special mission. Your assignment is to search out and rescue all hostages held by the enemy.
You will be entering extremely hostile and difficult territory.

You are now leaving the Army base to rescue the hostages who are desperately fighting for their lives. Fly wisely, you are our only hope.
How to Play
How to Rescue Hostages
The purpose of this game is to maneuver the helicopter past the dangerous and omnipresent enemy and bring the hostages back to the safety of the allied base.
The game consists of five hostile sectors, each of which consists of three levels.
There is a minimum number of hostages that you have to rescue in each level in order to proceed to the next level. You can keep returning to rescue more hostages until you reach your quota. The helicopter can hold up to 10 hostages at a time.
If you are shot down or crash with enough hostages to keep you from meeting the required rescue quota, the mission is failed and the game will end.
When you clear Level One, you will move on to Level Two and begin the next rescue mission. When you clear Level Three, you will move on to the next sector.
