Don't think so.  When I kill all the MiGs I get the "good job" message.  Are
you sure it was still your first plane?  If you get shot down, the game 
continues running in the present scenario (very stupid) -- and you can take
your new plane to kill whatever is left -- but no pat on the back when you
finish.


Here's another one for you folks:  Anybody ever have any luck with the
"intercept stolen aircraft" mission -- that is, luck getting them to
return with you?

I had the following happen:
   Killed the Migs;
   Discovered one of the F16s was chasing ME all around the sky.
   Discovered the other was already far out to sea.
   I ignored the one behind me, went out to sea, did a flyby on the
   2nd F16 (which kept on going);  so I fell behind this F16, and 
   shot him down.
   I then went after the F16 which was following me.  NO luck!  He
   followed me thru every twist and turn; I could NOT get behind him
   to shoot effectively (missiles are usually ineffective -- must use
   guns).  When it dawned on me that he was following me everywhere
   though, I just turned around and landed at the base. The plane
   followed me all the way back.  I landed.  IT circled around and 
   around me for a while, then hit the ground.  This was very strange
   because the radar said his speed was 0, altitude 0.  However, it
   was not destroyed.  So I turned around and rolled along the ground
   to him, in order to put him out of his misery :-).  I had just
   about gotten a bead on him, when he blew up!

     ... and I never got the "good job" message either.


Now I just wish there were some more scenarios, since it only takes
a couple of hours to go thru the 6 that are there.
