There should be some cues when the mission is complete and it's safe to exit

When I landed after mission 1, the player says that he's taxing to S-39 and S-40 (for the wingman). I taxied to spot 39 (there's no S on the map), and shut down the jet. Still no message that the mission is completed. My wing(wo)man was taxiing all over to the other side of the airport along with some F-15s, so I thought maybe that was the de-arming area. So I started up my jet again to taxi to the other side and parked along my wingman, shut down. Still no message/cue that the mission was over. So I just quit, and found out that my mission was a success. So I guess the mission is completed once you land back at Andersen, or?

Adter you get the RTB ut is complete, also thete is key command to show you the score of a mission, if that is 100 then you are good. Keep in mind that it takes a second to compile all the events.
