The airplane level is after the game ends, so you can finish the game without doing that level. It was pretty easy on normal, I did it on the first try and didn't even use any of my flashbangs. I can't beat it on veteran. I got about 2/3 of the way through it once, but then I ran out of ammo and got killed before I could take cover.
Yeah, Mile High Club is definitely more difficult than One Shot, One Kill. I got to One Shot, One Kill about 5 weeks ago, couldn't progress and just gave up. On a whim, I fired up COD4 late Tuesday night and made a lot of progress after figuring out a technique outlined below. It's a tie between Mile High Club and No Fighting in the War Room as the most difficult level.
There's a place in One Shot, One Kill where the enemies don't seem to go after you much. If you get onto the bumper car platform, then back up and lay down next to the to the large ticket booth on the side of the platform, you almost disappear from the enemy. Put your back to the booth and lay down so that you're facing away from the booth and looking down the length of the bumper car platform. This has got to be a glitch with the game, because anywhere else that you try and hide in the map you end up being slaughtered and bombarded with enemy fire and grenades.
After that level you should have smooth sailing until you get to No Fighting in the War Room. The only advice on this level is to progress through the level fast and make every shot accurately and deliberately. What I learned about this level and how the game saves took me until my 50th try or so. This level is timed. You have to electronically and remotely disarm the two ICBMs that have already launched before they hit their targets. Since it's timed, you have to hit the game's checkpoints with enough time remaining to be able to finish the level. The game will not let you save at a checkpoint if you don't have enough time remaining on the countdown clock. If you the game would save at a checkpoint regardless of the time left on the clock, it would put you into a unrecoverable save state that would disallow you from beating the level. So, the level can be a little more difficult with the added pressure of the countdown timer.
The last level, Game Over, is easy. Good luck!
