Top 5 Flying Vehicles
Oppressor MK II
The Oppressor MK II, released on July 14th, 2018, is an upgraded version of the original Oppressor. It boasts a top speed of 130mph, making it ideal for quickly traversing the map, especially for those invested in businesses. Key upgrades include Chaff to defend against homing missiles and jets, and Explosive MG or Homing Missiles for offensive capabilities. It's particularly useful for missions requiring quick entry and exit, such as Deal Breaker and Pier Pressure.

Deluxo

Besra
Added in the SA Flight School Update in 2014, the Besra is based on the Northrop F-5. It can be found in Fort Zancudo or purchased from Elitas Travel with a Hangar. Its key feature is a high speed of 204 mph, allowing for rapid travel and stunt flying due to its lightweight design.
P-996 LAZER
The P-996 LAZER, based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon, has been in GTA Online since its release in 2013. Initially only accessible in Fort Zancudo, it can now be purchased from the Warstock Site. It reaches a top speed of 195 mph and is equipped with cannons and homing missiles, making it excellent for high-speed flight and combat.
HYDRA
The HYDRA, based on the British Aerospace Harrier II, was added in 2015. It cannot be found in the world and must be purchased from the Warstock Site after completing The Humane Labs Raid. While similar to the P-996 Lazer, it has slightly inferior acceleration and handling. Its primary draw is its combat capability, though it is more expensive than the P-996 Lazer, costing $6,500,000.
