Back to Caligula's, you need to go take out a hit squad disguised as a string quartet.  You are sent to the airport, where you need to steal a Dodo and intercept the incoming jet.  Once in the plane, use left and right for cover as you kill the four hitmen, and then the pilot.  Then, fly back to the Las Venturas airport and land.

Other things that may help are turning off the radio so you can hear your engines, and doing the mission at night so the jet is more visible.

An alternative strategy is to fly around the spawn point of the plane and approach from the rear. You will be able to reach the corona just before the plane reaches Las Venturas if you are able to keep your plane steady enough.
After you take over the jet (which is simply a two stage whack-a-mole exercise) you need to land it at the Las Venturas airport successfuly to conclude the mission. DO NOT FORGET TO PUT YOUR LANDING GEAR DOWN (press {{kbd|2}} on the PC). You can land anywhere on the runway. If you haven't piloted or landed a jet in GTA:SA before, you should steal a Shamal from the Las Venturas airport and exercise it, including landing, prior to attempting the Freefall mission. You can also exercise with the Dodo as there are always a couple parked at the LV airport. The gate to the LV airport will open automatically if you have passed flight school.
=== Workarounds (PC Version Only)===
If you are playing the PC version of the game you can use the [http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=522 SA Config Editor] to edit the config of the your plane, the DODO, to make it faster and the speed of the SHAMAL (target plane) to make it slower. The file you need to edit is the "handling.cfg" file. This can also be edited using a text editor (save a copy of the file before you do so). Changing the drag factor of the DODO from 12.0 to 8.0 will make the chase easier. However this also makes the DODO a bit more difficult to control.

You can also exercise with the Dodo as there are always a couple parked at the LV airport. The gate to the LV airport will open automatically if you have passed flight school.
If you would like to skip the part where you are supposed to catch up to the plane, you can teleport to the following coordinates using software such as 
[http://www.estetiksoft.de/gtasaconsole/index.html GTA San Andreas Admin Console]:
{|
|X||1465.0
|-
|Y||5200.0
|-
|Z||215.0
|-
|Angle||179
|}
Teleport to the above coordinates when you are seated inside the Dodo at the airport. Do not fly the Dodo; just teleport to the coordinates. This will teleport you right on top of the hitmen's plane. The Shamal will start to move when you are close to it. Hence after you teleport there the plane will start moving and so will the corona. Now the corona will pass through the Dodo and you can continue the mission from there.
