Target: Terror (Gold)

[igotrhythm]

I've watched this one guy in my arcade play this a few times, and he is absolutely insane at it. I've seen him get 10 medals from a single mission! Yet he's complaining that the game's final mission (which you only unlock after completing the other 9 successfully) is impossible to pass. He did appreciate me acting as a second set of eyes, because there's only so much one guy can handle, no matter how good he might be.

Here's the situation, in case you've never gotten that far: You get to the cockpit, where a terrorist is using the pilot as a human shield while holding a gun to his head. The guy (he enters his highscores, and he has a LOT of them, under the initials CCZ) has told me he's tried shooting the terrorist in question in the head, holstering his gun, etc., but he still can't figure out a way to prevent him from pressing the button in his hand and blowing up the plane. So I was wondering if anyone else around here happens to know and help me help him become the first person to ever complete the game on our machine?

By the way, my first thought was that he ought to shoot the pilot. Now that I think about it, however, maybe he would be better off aiming for the window or maybe the control panel. What do you guys/girls think?
