Brief

We’ve obtained intel on the location of three downed planes that were smuggling Peruvian cocaine into Inca Camina. Get to the planes and destroy the drug shipments before Santa Blanca can recover them.

A Snow Go Area

On a mountaintop ridge almost directly due south of Inca Camina Alpha Rally Point (but at a much higher altitude) are the smoking remains of a drug plane. Take the road that zig-zags south from the Rally Point, eventually reaching the Inca Ruins. Before you get there, disembark at the last snow-covered bend in the road before you reach the Inca Ruins (about 240 meters away). This puts you about 360 meters from the plane itself. Then hike or bike roughly northeast, up the exceptionally steep valleys, to the pinnacle of the mountain ridge. Or take a helicopter, which is a whole lot quicker and easier.

Plane Crash Site (North): Recon

TACMAP

The plane is in two pieces, and has four separate cocaine shipments scattered nearby. When you get near, all four are tagged for your convenience. They must be destroyed. If you came here by chopper, land it on the relatively flat snow plateau about ten meters south, and slightly downhill of the plane.

Plane Crash Site (North): Other Tactical Advice

  When you reach the plane, you can quickly destroy all four cocaine stashes (with a single frag grenade, C4, or mine you shoot) immediately, then leave before the two enemy choppers even engage you.

Or, you can use the rocky ridge you’re on, along with the pieces of plane (but mainly the rocks) as cover, before popping out and firing off shots at the foes riding on the chopper, and ideally aiming at the pilot. Though the battle may take a couple of minutes, it’s relatively easy to remove both threats with gunfire, before completing the mission.

Or, you can take to the skies and engage in an airborne dual, with teammates backing you up. Co-op players may have taken multiple aircraft to this location, so dogfighting is an option (though it’s usually better to team up with multiple Ghosts in one aircraft to maximize shooting damage).
