Metal Hawk/Area D-9

For its sixth mission, Metal Hawk will start out directly over the enormous rock in the top-right corner of the area; push the lever up to descend to about 200 metres while the familiar arrow is pointing you towards a network of blue paths (which are not shown in the image to the right). Two Type 3 Cannons will be firing anti-aircraft missiles up at you from their positions in front of four gas tanks on the first path (which you can drop a missile of your own on for 10 and 30 points apiece) - and once you have destroyed them all, the arrow will reappear to point you towards two medium-sized buildings and three aircraft hangars (which you can each drop a missile on for 20 points apiece) on the second path. Four more Type 3 Cannons will also be firing more anti-aircraft missiles up at you from their positions between the aircraft hangars, and you will also have to deal with two Red Heri flying towards you (which can be shot for 10 points apiece) once you have destroyed them all. The path will then launch several more Red and Green Heri up into the air, which will fly towards you once they have reached your altitude - and once you have destroyed them all, the arrow will reappear to point you towards four Type 2 Cannons firing anti-aircraft missiles at you from their positions on either side of four more medium-sized buildings (which you can drop a missile on for 10 and 20 points apiece) on the third path - along with a landing pad and a satellite dish (which you can also drop a missile on for 15 points apiece). Once you have destroyed them all, the arrow will reappear again to pointyou towards four more Type 3 Cannons firing anti-aircraft missiles up at you, four more medium-sized buildings and four more gas tanks on the fourth path (which you each can drop a missile on for 10, 20 and 30 points apiece). Once you have scored over 800 points, Metal Hawk will fly back up to its highest altitude of 400 metres and off the top of the screen. You will then get 10 more bonus points for every second you have remaining - and if you had not attained the military ranking of Marshal after clearing the previous area, you probably will have by now. Metal Hawk will now proceed to Area J-9: Cross Fire.
