First begin by flying diagonaly. Fly by looking at the map and don't worry about your surroundings. Try to conserve your jet fuel (so don't use boost unless you have to)

Once you're around checkpoint 5 begin to use your boost. Aim for fuel main priority. Then second priority are hamburgers. Don't worry as much about money. That'll come over time.

But now you're going to want to watch for friendlies (Holland, Jamaica, and Italy) and hostile enimies especially Sweden, Russia, China, and North Korea. They gave me the most hardtime.

This is the final stretch. Just focus on Polan now. Don't look at the map. Hostiles will be coming at all directions at this point. Just focus on dodging them and using boost to get out of sticky situations.

Congratz you should of made it finally. You got the ending cut scean and the achievment.

it took me many times to finally reach the moon. Just keep playing and eventually you'll beat the game. Just takes a minute.
