The Hydra is evidently a jet-powered military aircraft, bearing (slightly modified) [[wp:roundel|roundels]] of the [[wp:United States Air Force|United States Air Force]] on its wings. The Hydra is suggestively based on the [[wp:AV-8B Harrier II|McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing/BAe) AV-8B Harrier II]], although the air intake is on the underside of the aircraft and resembles that of a [[wp:F-16 Fighting Falcon|Lockheed F-16]]. This is further proven by the code that is used to spawn it in the PC version, "Jumpjet", which is a nickname for the [[wp:Harrier Jump Jet|Harrier Jets]]
