The [[Impossible Mission]], but with [[Cool Plane]]s. Other vehicles in other mediums may be used (spaceships in space, submarines underwater, etc) if necessary. In any case, the impossibility of the mission comes from the fact that the vehicle in question is forced to operate in an environment it wasn't designed for. Instead of soaring through the open skies, the [[Cool Plane]] will be forced to maneuver through a narrow canyon; the spaceship will be in an [[Asteroid Thicket]] or a near an [[Unrealistic Black HoleHoles Suck]]; the submarine will be forced to operate at (or beyond) its maximum diving depth. Basically, our heroes are forced to take a route that would be a bad idea at the best of times, much less under enemy fire, on a [[Race Against the Clock|time limit]], with dire consequences for failure. For additional entertainment, the path will often [[Collapsing Lair|destroy itself]] as it's being travelled.
 
A common form of [[The Climax]]. Done correctly, it shows off the main character's courage, resolve, and [[Improbable Piloting Skills]], allows them to defeat the [[Big Bad]] in one fell swoop, and provides plenty of chances for [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]. Rather than trying to top this, it's often best to just put it at the end of the story and wrap things up as soon as it's over.
