Looking for more speed? Strap on the rocket belt to blast your way around an
obstacle course. If that's not enough, reach maximum velocity as you tackle a
skydiving lesson at 3,800 feet. Complete specific objectives within a set time
limit to score points (and maybe even a bonus chance) and obtain certification
in eight different lessons. Your goals will become more challenging, and weather

helicopter on a daring rescue mission. It's time to earn your wings.
