Story
The level starts with you leaving the carrier to steal the experimental time shifting device on the cargo boat. But obviously the enemy will not let the ship defenceless, enemy planes and bunkers aren't letting you take their important device without a fight!

After defeating the enemy planes (and optionally destroying the bunkers) and retrieving the time shifting device, the component stats bar will fill to 100% and Baron von Schtopwatch will send one of his Big flying machines to defeat you!

After defeating it, goodies will appear and the carrier is ready to warp to the next level!

Strategies

 * Collect full repair goodies if you really need to, and make sure to collect gun upgrade goodies also!
 * Bunkers do not attack the carrier, and aren't that powerful so don't panic!
 * Cargo Ships are defenceless.
 * Warning! Bombers mainly target the carrier!
 * Don't hit the enemy boss or its propellers, they may destroy or heavily damage your plane!
 * If your plane's shield/fuel is low, make sure to return to the carrier!
 * Destroy every enemy plane before attacking the cargo ship.
 * Use Mega Fighter Escort and Time-Stop bonuses against the boss!
