The fuel has been dumped, The Engines are failing, were gliding into low altitude and there are no safe landing sights. So what do we do?!
Hang on!
For this phased map I wanted to do another Indiana Jones inspired map, specifically the plane crash escape scene from temple of doom. But I also was really inspired by the plane fight from uncharted and basically decided to just do both!

“I wouldn't claim to know what sort of crime one could possibly commit that the land of ultimate evil might want you imprisoned” - Ida Holly, On the Void
