Together, they fight a Tyrannosaurus, Pterodactylus and a Gigantophis.

When all the planes have been knocked down, the army sends two blimps with a net in between them to catch Kong. They catch him successfully. Kong tries to get out of the net, but the net rips and when Kong reaches for Ann, he falls from the net and plummets to the streets of New York. However, Kong survives the fall.
After surviving the fall, Kong was either allowed to roam free in a thousand acres of land in southern New Jersey, or released on a private island.
