Jagged Mountain Summit

Jagged ridges crown this high mountain summit, lightly dusted with snow that the fleeing DC-3 skims in a close escape during the aerial pursuit. Kao Kan's biplane, fixed on the transport's tail, cannot recover and slams into the peak, bursting into flames that hurl debris down the slopes. Pilots face fierce winds, thin air, and sudden death here, turning the summit into the chase's deadly end point as the DC-3 pulls away.
