Waiting in Jackrabbit Hangar

Any extra items found in the hanger will not be taken with you to the next level, so do not worry about finding loot. Just focus on objectives.

Start a Fire

Mackenzie will state he is getting cold. Pick up the following items within the office:

One Firestarter, such as
- Wood Matches, located on the left side of the desk
One piece of Tinder, such as
- Newsprint, located on the filing cabinet in the corner of the office near the window
- Newsprint Roll, located on the filing cabinet in the corner of the office near the window
- Tinder Plug, located next to the Wood Stove
One piece of Fuel, such as
- Cedar Firewood, located in the crate next to the Wood Stove
- Fir Firewood, located in the crate next to the Wood Stove
- Reclaimed Wood, located next to a metal bench across the plane if you leave the office

Go to the Wood Stove located in the corner of the office and start a Fire with the acquired materials.

Explore the Hanger

Open the Door to the office and exit into the hanger. Explore the Hanger, and examine the following items within:

Office
- Map - located next to the Wood Stove. "Great Bear Island. Dad used to fly there all the time. He said it used to be beautiful. Not much reason to go there these days... since the quakes and all."
- Photo - located on the filing cabinet near the window. "Ah...a rare Mackenzie family photo. Miss you, dad."
Hanger
- Floatplane - located in the center of the hanger. "Well...here we are old girl. your best flights may be behind you, but you're still beautiful to me. And anyways... you're all I've got. I'd sure love to take you on one last great adventure."
- Poster - located near the bathroom. "Jackrabbit Remote Transport. Zero flights a day to the Mainland communities and...well...anywhere really."
- Sink - located on the kitchen counter. "Damn...I was right. Pipes froze up again."
- Hotplate - located on the kitchen counter. "Cheap electric crap. Never works when you need it."
- Mackenzie's Parka - located on the table in front of the Floatplane. "I don't remember needing my parka this early in the season. Seems to get colder every year."
Bathroom
- Sink - located on the bathroom counter. "Damn...I was right. Pipes froze up again."
Sleeping quarters
- Photo - located inside the sleeping quarters behind a dreamcatcher. "Those were better days."

After examining several of the objects listed above, you announce that you are ready for a nap. Go to the sleeping quarters and select the bed to go to sleep. You'll eventually be woken up by the sound of a ringing phone. Go back to the office.

Astrid Arrives

Mackenzie will answer the ringing phone, with another Jackrabbit Remote Transport employee, Maureen, telling him over the phone that "she" arrived and was convinced you would fly her north. The door opens to reveal Astrid Greenwood. Astrid needs you to fly her to a settlement on the north coast of Great Bear Island to treat an ill person. You reluctantly agree, despite the "no questions asked" policy about this flight.

Trivia

Mackenzie's unique Clothing have different models and item descriptions compared to their post plane crash counterparts.
It is impossible to pass time and die while in the Hanger, as passing time is not possible.
- This may be explained by the fact that the playing cards used in the "Pass Time" option are on the table in the office, and cannot be used.
There are 2 harvestable items in the hangar, a small Cardboard Box and a Hand Cart (but the cart cannot be harvested).
Several items can be picked up, such as a Cooking Pot, Herbal Tea, Chocolate Bar, Fir Firewood, Cedar Firewood, Newsprint Roll, Newsprint, Wood Matches, and Reclaimed Wood, but none of these items will be in the player's inventory in the next mission.
Several normally interactable items can be found in the hanger but cannot be selected, such as a Heavy Hammer, Books, a Metal Container, Plastic Container, File Cabinet, Cupboard, a small mini Fridge, a tool Drawer, and a Trash Can.
