This is simple demonstration on how to do the mission Stowaway in Verdant Meadows.

I have two different videos showing the same way to completing this mission:

Method #1 -- using the Minigun and the PCJ-600 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWyp1hnhtHM&fmt=18

Method #2 -- using the Minigun, PCJ-600, and a Bobcat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEMZzFYFhmA&fmt=18

at 04:12... Carl falls through a "Hidden Interior"... that's a glitch in the game itself, no cheats and no mods.

NO CHEATS and no mods were used.
This is a completely legitimate game.

There are no edits in this video... what you see is what actually happened.

Here are the details:
OrionSR, rubregg, and others came up with the basic strategy for this.
You can destroy the plane before it takes off.
Get a minigun; 200 rounds should be more than enough.

After the cut-scene with Toreno is over, the actual mission begins, and you're sitting on the motorcycle.

Get off of the motorcycle and use the minigun to destroy the plane as it's taking off, the plane will stop on the runway, and you will not fail the mission for doing that. http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stowawayca8.jpg

Then simply ride up to the ramp at the back of the plane. You can take your time and ride at whatever speed you want; that plane's not going anywhere. http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stowaway2ib2.jpg

This is where it gets weird:
Once you get onto the ramp, the screen goes dark and you'll find yourself at the point in the mission where you must dodge the barrels.
The small cut-scene before that (with you dodging the barrels and losing the motorcycle) is skipped altogether.
The plane is not destroyed anymore, and you are now inside the plane, which is somehow flying in the air.
Important: You must be on the motorcycle (or a vehicle of somekind) to trigger the rest of the mission, simply walking up to the ramp does nothing.

The rest of the mission plays out the same as it normally would.

Another weird aspect is, after destroying the plane with the minigun, you can go away for as long as you like, and come back complete the mission whenever you want, because there's no time limit.

However, if you go away long enough the plane will disappear, but you can still complete the mission as long as you know where the ramp was when the plane came to a stop after it was destroyed by the minigun.
There's an invisible spot left on the runway that will still trigger the cut-scene with C.J. dodging the barrels, and the mission continues normally after that.

Thanks for watching.
