Vertical Bird

Vertical Bird is a mission in San Andreas where CJ is required to steal a Hydra from the East Naval Base and destroy some boats . If not on this mission, entering the naval base will give you an instant 5 star wanted level, but on this mission you don't get it. The only security in the base is only 10 - 30 guards with M4 Carbines , and a number of unarmed workers accompanying them (they usually trigger the alarm when CJ has been spotted). After you steal the jet and take off, there are 4 other Hydra's which follow you (NOTE: you can blow up the other hydras to prevent them from following you, though at least 1 Hydra will follow even if you blow them all up) and threaten to shoot at you , but they don't, they just follow you and you've got to destroy them . Then there are the 4 unarmed spyboats which you have to destroy.Then you have to land the plane at the flying school landing strip and put it in a hanger.

Reward I : $50,000

Reward II : Respect

Reward III : The hydra in one of the hangers at the flying school .
