[[File:AC4 AirstrkImpssbl.jpg|link=Ace Combat|thumb|300px|[[Ace Combat|Mobius One]], [[It's Up to You]] to fly down this tunnel. And [[Heroic Mime|don't give me lip]] about [[Violation of Common Sense]].]]

 

 

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 [[Black Holes 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.

* ''[[Airwolf]]'' never had to perform one of these directly, but "Proof through the Night", where String and Dom had to fly a weaponless Airwolf deep into the USSR to retrieve a defector and his family definitely qualifies.

* Hilariously parodied in ''[[Firefly]]'', when Wash flies [[Cool Ship|Serenity]] through a canyon in an attempt to shake off a pursuer...who simply flies ''[[Take a Third Option|above the canyon.]]''
