When this happens, several heat-seeking SAM missiles will fire at the player from the four launchers dotted around the base. The aircraft carrier at the [[Easter Basin Naval Station]] also has two SAM sites, but these will be permanently deactivated after the completion of the mission [[Vertical Bird]]. | ||

This also applies to the [[Vortex]] hovercraft, as the Vortex is considered an aircraft. | ||
These missiles can severely damage the airplane's wings or engine (or the player, when using a jetpack), making it harder to fly, and a few will destroy it and kill the player if they do not eject. Some aircrafts, like the [[AT-400]] and [[Cargobob]], are less susceptible to damage from the missiles. Although, once the aircraft has absorbed more than enough damage from the missiles, it will eventually explode. | These missiles can severely damage the airplane's wings or engine (or the player, when using a jetpack), making it harder to fly, and a few will destroy it and kill the player if they do not eject.
