"Who's the type of idiot that even does this?"

― Cascadian Marine

"Express Lane" is the fourth mission of Project Wingman: Frontline-59. The player has to fly through the underground foundation of Highway 1, bypassing the Cascadian Independence Force frontline anti-air network, to eliminate the Marine command post coordinating the Magadan Invasion.

Objectives

This mission is slightly tricky; fly into the location blipped as "TUNNEL ENTRANCE" and then proceed through. Take every turn needed and choose whichever path suits your piloting skill level; some corners may be too tight to turn through or heights too steep. Avoid crashing into pillars and rock formations by any means.

You will encounter ground patrols and the occasional collateral extra speed cameras for a little vandalism. There is even a yacht cameo, just like the one in Valkyrie's Call - except this time armed and will retaliate. Be sure not to spend too much energy and movement into taking every one of them out; the way out is a very shallow tunnel flight reminiscent of Stepping Stone's optional ones, if the slightest bit wider.

Don't feel too relieved at feeling free space once you're out, as you still have a whole base that just awakened to your presence. It is armed with the new HPBC - which you may have encountered in the highway - and are just like a laser version of railguns. They will dish a beating into your plane, so maneuvers matter. Destroy all targets to complete the mission.

Mercenary difficulty

No change.

• This is one of the four missions (the others being Bottom of the Barrel, Faust, and Kings) where the mission splash doesn't appear at the start of gameplay.
