GTA 3 Gameplay Walkthrough - Mission 46: S.A.M. & Ransom (Asuka)
4Miguel reveals that every month a fresh shipment of Spank is flown into the freight terminal at Francis international. Get a boat out to a runway light pontoon and shoot down the aircraft. Collect the packages from the debris.
You have 3 min and 30 sec to commandeer a fast boat and make it to the light pontoon floating near the Francis International runways. If you miss the plane's approach to the runway you will fail the mission. You have only one shot at this. Following the red radar icon to the boat docks on the western coast of Staunton you'll find the boat you need to complete the objectives. Near the boat hovers a rocket launcher with very little ammo, take it and face the boat while hitting the Triangle button. Now speed towards the light pontoon (blue icon on radar) and when you reach the pontoon, press the Triangle button to release the boat controls and head out from under the cockpit, select the rocket launcher, look to the east and locate the Cessna. Take careful aim and shoot the plane as it nears the runway. When the debris scatters in the water or on the runway itself, collect the floaters with the boat and then dock it if you have to collect any packages that made it to land. Keep in mind that after destroying the plane, a wanted level of 4 will be sounded. Use whatever extra rockets you have to take out the police helicopter to buy time to pick up more packages without being shot at. The helicopters are all that'll reach you in this remote area of Shoreside Vale. After collecting all 8 packages you must bring the packages back to the construction yard to complete the mission.
