See the Sight Before Your Flight is a 12-level side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The mission can be accessed at the memorial close to the entrance to Francis International Airport in Shoreside Vale.
Description[]
The mission is about driving tourists around Liberty City and getting them to different landmarks within a time limit. When the player has reached the destination, the player will have to follow them on foot, and then take three photos of the tourist with the landmark.
Pictures the player takes could be OK, Good, Great or Excellent. Depending on the quality of the picture, the player could get no bonus reward, or a $50, $200 or $500 bonus reward. An Excellent photo is done by standing in front of the tourist, who must be visible with the sight clearly in the background. At certain times, Toni might get his camera stolen and must retrieve it[ref?], or he may be attacked by a random pedestrian with a baseball bat.
Afterwards, the player must take the tourist back to the airport before the time limit expires.
As mentioned earlier, there are 12 different levels, but it is not necessary to pass all 12 levels at once. After saving, the player can come back to the level at which they previously stopped.
