Flight Path Instructions – Field Puzzle
Use the attached string to "fly" the stunt plane around the clouds in specific patterns. Each flight maneuver forms a shape in the sky — revealing a number that makes up the 3-digit combination that opens the cache.
First number – “The Sky Slicer”
Get ready for some ZERO GRAVITY flying!
-
Fly straight up the right side, loop over the top-right cloud, then dive straight down the center to the very bottom.
-
Once your smoke trail forms a tall vertical path, log your first number and reset for the next maneuver.
Second number – “The Full Loop”
This one’s a full-throttle stunt — a giant aerial loop around the outer edge.
-
Fly straight up the right side. At the top, bank left and fly across the top row, then dive down the left side. Curve around the bottom-left cloud, and fly straight right along the bottom to close the loop.
-
Your smoke trail should now form a wide oval — log your second number and reset.
Third number – “The Dive Bomber”
Time for some tricky flying — a sharp high-speed start that levels out then drops into a steep descent.
-
Fly straight up the right side to the top, then bank left and fly across the top row. Circle around the top-left cloud, cut back underneath the two top clouds, then fully loop around the top-right cloud before diving straight down through the center of the cloud formation.
-
Your smoke trail tells the tale of what some consider to be "lucky" — log your final number, enter the combo, and unlock the cache!
—
Congratulations! Whether you cracked the combo in one pass or circled the landing strip a few times, you’ve earned your wings today. This might’ve started as a “Plane Ol’ Cache” —but you just turned it into a legendary flight!
