The Hydra Fighter Plane on the runway.

The "Hydra" is the first jet fighter to appear in any GTA game. Its concept is derived from the Mcdonnell Douglas(now Boeing)/British Aerospace AV-8B or the Harrier Gr. 7 (as it's known in the UK). Its nose is slightly longer than the standard AV-8B, meaning it has the AN/APG-65 RADAR carried by the AV-8B+... even though the APG-65 RADAR was not integrated until the late 90s. It lacks the Harrier's eternal 25mm cannon, only missiles that could be used as non seeking or seeking air to air/air to ground missile. It carries flares as countermeasures. Its the fastest aircraft in all of san andreas and one of the easiest to fly even though it is one of the most agile aicraft. It could be attained by a cheat code or at "Easter bay naval station" at "Verdant Meadows" air strip after "vertical bird" at sweets house afer 100% completion and at "Area 69" after "black project"
