    HELP, I dont have a airplane for shooting down the John's airplane

    So I cleared the John Seed Sector (bottom left) and now I have the mission to shoot him down. I cant cancle this mission.
    The problem is, I dont know where I can get airplanes.
    I think the reason is, I didnt finish (yet) Rye & Son Aviation Mission which I assume would unlock the airplane shop.

    Could this be a bug? If not, please give me a hint, Im stuck

    I didn't finish the Rye mission either.
    There was a plane I could grab at the Seed Ranch.

    When I crashed that plane in the lake down the hill from the bunker (oops) I could get another plane at the Boat shop on the lake there (It's marked 'Boat shop' on the map, but it's actually a 'Boat and Seaplane' shop.

    There's another Boat/Seaplane shop near the Sawyer residence, or south of Kellett Cattle Co. (I'm sure there are more on other lakes/rivers)

    I used the seaplane with guns to finish Seed.
    You are not screwed.

    I didn't complete that mission before I got to that either but there's a plane waiting for you when you drive to John's ranch.

    Also, when i died during that mission, I just spawned on the ground near a plane again but in different area.

    Great. I'll admit this wasn't an easy quest for several reasons...

    ... with keyboard and mouse and as I am not good at shooters :-) ..

    I was glad that I already had the pilot and helicopter "companions"
    they made the job for me :-) (but you still have to be near John Seed)

    There should be a dark grey plane sitting right near the hanger attached to the house at the end of the runway. Thats what I used for that mission. Once I shot him down and he parachutes I just nose dived right at him and then bailed at the last second and parachuted down. I beat him to the ground by about 2 seconds and just lit him up the second he landed.

    You can take out any plane from the ground with a nade, whenever they're swooping down to shoot at you, as long as you cook it a little before you throw it, it'll take out their tale end every-time.

    This doesn't have anything to do with this mission, you need a plane for it.

    And since you mentioned it, why bother with granades when you can use RAT4 with traceable rockets.
    Also, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead before plane got close enough to me on hard difficulty...

    I failed the wrath mission only 7 times. Now I'm stuck, bc my plane crashed but I ejected. There's no menu option to quit mission or restore last checkpoint. John is on the radio saying things like " you think you're safe on the ground etc".
    Each time I almost had the plane destroyed, he would run off the map and it would respawned me back inside the map in plane.
    One respawn, John's plane literally did figure 8's the whole time.
    Went to my save folder to try n switch saves and there's only two saves both stuck in this mission.
    I guess I'm screwed 10 hrs in. So I started a new game and it makes you do the whole 20 minute intro all over again, with no way to skip it.
    This is balls.
