I could never get anywhere in this game because I couldn't figure out how to land. Well, ~20 years later, I can finally land the damn plane. Here's a brief tutorial.
This is the first level of the game (training mission 1), hence the boring "shoot two canvas targets" mission.
Activate subtitles to get more detail during the video.
00:00 Takeoff
00:10 Completing mission
01:02 Heading back to base
01:10 Reducing thrust
01:37 Lining up with runway
01:50 Toggling air brakes to stay in 200-300mph range
02:23 Engaging landing gear once below 200mph
