Angry Birds Rio Airfield Chase Walkthrough Level 5 (9-5)

The best strategy for Airfield Chase level 9-5 is to launch Big Brother into the left side of the top-right structure. Either the stones or Big Brother will push the middle cart to the left, thereby pushing the lower cart to the left and into the pile of TNT at the bottom of the hill. If necessary, either score a direct hit on the remaining cages or take out the support of the scissor-lift with the Yellow bird. The score in the video below is 84,720.

Did 98000. Do it exactly to show in the video but a little lower, not to much. You have to try a few but if the bird hit right spot rest is like domino. Good luck

By bombas238

I got 104,800 I had more luck smashing the spring-looking board down with big bird, then setting off the domino with the yellow bird up top. This is a little harder but now the whole middle cart falls onto the bottom one and drags more blocks with it.

Looks like a lucky one bird up top could yield a higher score though.

109880 with the same method. First shot low trajectory just below the purple bird, and second through the hollow wooden square in the tallest tower and into the large cage, causing the last tower to topple (takes a bit of luck and a few tries, but not too difficult).

By bombas238

Good call on that second shot. Got it to 110,640, thanks!

Ugh, took me more than just a few tries, but I finally hit the right spot with the yellow bird. Went from 105k with 3 birds to 116k with 2. Thanks for the explanation.

By LazyOne

Can someone explain this method a little bit more clearly? The most I am getting is 70 when I got 103 using the video method…

Big red bird only gets rid of the purple bird on the spring, correct? Is it meant to prepare the rest in any way or just that?

Then the second bird, are you talking about the wooden square on the top left of the farthest right tower? This just doesn’t seem to work for me

The first bird should completely destroy the springy platform to allow the middle structure to roll into that gap later and push the left structure down the hill. The second shot goes through the hollow square thats by the upper left corner of the largest cage, and hopefully knocks over a bunch of the farthest right tower.

1st shot isn’t that important. Just hit the purple bird and the cart should move to the left. It’s even acceptable if this doesn’t happen cause the main thing here is destroying the platform under the purple bird!

2nd shot is the key here! Yellow bird should hit the horizontal bottom wood block on the far right which helps collapsing most of the right structure (screenshot).
Finally this shot should look like: screenshot

Happy shooting! ;)

Thanks Higgins for not only taking the time to reply but taking the time to capture and post the “key” screenshot. I knew the 2 shots but no matter how many time I shot the yellow bird thru the hollow block and into and thru the large cage in the far right tower I could not past 104,670. Then I came across your screen shot with the key… The circled horizontal wood piece. In about 10 minutes and many close calls I finally hit 2nd shot right reaching 112990 + 1 bird = total of 122990. Could not have done it without you.
By the way for my 1st shot, I usually go thru the large suitcase on lower cart and under the purple bird. Collapse the spring board and push the cart. But as you said above…the key to the high score is the 2nd shot which you described in detail. Thanks,,, And of course these walk-through, the comments and most importantly the people that post the how to’s are fantastic!!!!

Thank you @higgins!

Higgins is right about the first bird. On my my 119k attempt, the cart didn’t budge at all until the second bird when a falling block gave it a slight nudge. Even then it barely moved and I was sure it was going to stop, but a second later it slowly, slowly started moving left.

The hardest part to getting a good score is having the red bird filled cage fall over with only using Big Brother.

By tk

if you hit it right, you can get it with the first bird. just like the video. try to hit just above the top of the vertical rod, and be patient… 111,950

This level hasn’t been too kind with with me until today. For the 2nd shot I have been using Higgins’ approach only I aim higher and accelerate right before impact. To me on PC this is by far the most successful shot. What I lacked was luck, either the cart wouldn’t fall into the pit or one suitcase wouldn’t break.
Here’s the screenshot:

Only thing I can complain about is I didn’t get one of the apples!
1st shot through the present, wood and scaffolding but still holding the left cart into place, score was 20k. 2nd like in the picture. It feels great to say goodbye to this level, its always been stressful and annoying what the cart will do after the 2nd shot, probably why I could not do more than 5 consecutive tries at this level.

YES! After what feels like 1000 attemps my strat finally worked. I switched the shots around: The first bird goes through the second antenna and destroys the building while pushing the second wagon Forward. The second bird goes through the scissorjack and the rest falls forward.

@philip – very nice strategy . What helps is hitting the famous Terence-cuts-through-everything-like-a-hot-knife-through-soft-butter-sweetspot. This resulted in the far right tower section to topple over and fall down to the right. Nice destruction.

Thanks @jaydee, looks like I’ve been hitting the right general area. No luck as of yet, since my rightmost structure seems to be made of rubber and not cheese for Terence to cut through. A couple of times the structure almost completely disintegrated only to magically come back together! Another problem I have is that the rate at which the middle cart with suitcases drops all the way down is dismal. Arggghh…

Thank you @philip aka nice_psycho for posting your TopScore strategy.

Thank you @jaydee & @fenikus for your pics & posts.

After only flinging about 30 min the morning after the Challenge started, as jaydee described, I hit the “Terence-cuts-through-everything-like-a-hot-knife-through-soft-butter-sweetspot, ” on iPad for 80380 when the left cart was also set in motion & rolled into TNT.

YB as nice_psycho described to the scissor jack (don’t think I knew this word before ABR) & fortunately both suitcases were destroyed. The cart didn’t roll all the way to the left, was caught on debris & not destroyed, but my 123580 is currently enough for a Top 10 spot at #7 …. not that I expect it to hold

Thanks again guys, I needed all of your help for this one

The “sweet spot” shot seems to not always be in the exact same spot, but if you are brushing the top of the block and sometimes getting one birders that look really great but only score about 110K you are close to the right spot. Just keep flinging.

Big red to the right side and got all the karts moving left. Left kart hit the tnt. Used the other two birds to destroy the right structure and collapse the structure so the right kart can fall. Placed the sardine can on the middle of the left stone like structure so the ME hits there and rolls up to the right destroying most of the remaining debris.

Launch Big Brother high up, landing between topmost structure and top platform. He should push the platform off the edge, wich causes a chain reaction, toppling everything over like bowling pins. Getting the 2 cages at the top right is harder than the rest, but this is fairly repeatable once you get it.

Basically it’s the strategy described by @philip, but instead of waiting after Terence, I am sending Chuck to cut the scaffolding as soon as possible.
The net result is that the second wagon is going all the way down doing maximum damages and guaranteeing a two birder.

Here is the final result.

And this is the highscore screenshot.

All the screenshots are also available in high res here in one set.
