How to upgrade my planes and keep my alliance tasks

[amir77a]

I am currently running 5 Jumbos as my highest planes.
I have 3 eagles for which I've finished all of the standard destinations.

I wish to purchase Thunderbird as my next plane.

As far as I remember, the alliance second mission is using the highest level plane.
Does the game count as "highest" by plane capacity or by value?

How should I transfer my eagles activities to Thunderbird activities without losing my ability to finish alliance tasks ?

Depends entirely if you have 100 ereaders and 100 beds ready and waiting. Your 2nd task will be thunderbird. Ability to finish an alliance task is what you should be discussing with your alliance!

Is Eagle your smallest plane? If so, you can’t change it to Thunderbird except you change all your fleet to Thunderbird that will make Thunderbird your smallest, your biggest, and your most.

1st mission is smallest plane.
2nd is highest level plane.
3rd is your most plane.

When I will purchase my first Thunderbird, I guess guess the game wouldn't care how many Thunderbirds I have. So I'll have to have at least 2 Thunderbirds to keep that alliance task. Am I right?

I dunno how many flights needed for 2nd task with Thunderbird fleet.

Since Thunderbird will be your largest plane, it’ll take your 2nd task. But I think it’s safe to say you need at the very least 2 Thunderbirds to finish 2nd task. Might need more.

Even if you only have 1 tb, you’ll get tb task. Depending on your game level you could have from 40 to 60 flights to do. Question remains the same do you have the flight items in stock? Why jump all the other planes?

If you’re planning to change tonight you might not get tb Destinations, too close to reset.

From my alliance tasks level 76 to level 80 (not sure about lower levels):
54 flights for Thunderbird at task 2
107 flights for Thunderbird at task 3

Edit: Sorry that was Falcon and not Thunderbird

I get 60 at lvl 80. Task 3 is always 2x task 2 for same type of plane.

When I upgraded (one plane), I skipped task 2 and am now doing task 3 instead. Which is a pain but I'll do it until I get another "highest" plane

I'm at level 73.
I have 5 Jumbos doing their relevant tasks. Already finished all previous regular tasks.
It seems to me (and please do correct if I'm wrong) that Thunderbird flights are easier to maintain than the Giant (too many pax) and the falcon (many pax every short period).
That's why I've decided that the next reasonable plane is the Thunderbird.
I already have 100 Ereaders and a ready furniture factory.
I will need to maintain ongoing e reader supply, but a common issue for all players.

It seems that considering my alliance, the best method would be to collect the coins for 3 Thunderbirds, and purchase it all at the same time. That method I will be able to maintain my assignment.

I doubt one furniture factory will keep up with task #2

I guess it isn't.
I will add factories as needed.
That an easy deal

I have just bought my first Falcon and Alliance task is 50. Does anyone have any idea how many flights it will go up to when I buy a 2nd?

None. The flight count is based on level and plane type, not plane count.

Thanks @deepgreensea The 50 flights is a bit out of reach with one plane so I want to buy a 2nd Falcon and wasn't sure how many more flights I would have to do to complete my 2nd task.
