Flight on 3 Stars!

[kappatango]

So, I have just finished all 3 stars on the Swallow (Training, Small Village, Egypt and Cyprus). Do I keep the Swallow - Any benefit? Or sell and get a new plane? I am level 16 with a lvl 3 runway, so ready to buy a Hawk....

From memory there is one side quest that requires the swallow at a later date, but typically it generates after the plane has been sold.
To complete that you may need to buy another one, but they cost around 250 coins so its pretty cheap to do.
The bigger cost will be associated with selling another plane to replace it, unless you are tactical and buy one following an additional stand purchase.

Largely though, the Swallow is useless following that.
The Swift (Egypt & Cyprus) has some use later down the line, but this requires you to be in an alliance to get alliance flights. And later there are alliance maps that require the Swift, but to get these maps you need to be in an alliance that can be in the Top 100 table for passenger numbers carried in a week.
Don't be afraid to sell it though. It is cheap to replace - it depends what you would be selling to buy one (typically at your level you wouldn't want to be selling anything above an Owl on a regular basis as it'd suck too many coins).

Buy a reserve hangar for 5,000 coins when you can. You will most definitely want one as you level up.

OK, so maybe best to hold for now, buy some land and a hanger?

In my small games I still have swifts. As I also have a small alliance for my small games, I intend to have them until I get all stars for weekly alliance destinations. Owls are to keep, as they are useful even at higher stages of the game.
