How to Fly the Hydra in GTA 5
Flying the Hydra in GTA 5 is like becoming a bird with rockets. First, you gotta get into the Hydra. This beast can be found in military bases or, if you've got the cash, buy it directly from the in-game internet. Once in, take off by pushing the throttle (right trigger on consoles, W on PC). The Hydra starts in hover mode, which is great for vertical takeoffs. To fly forward, push the right analog stick forward (or hit the num pad on PC) to switch to jet mode. Then, it's smooth sailing - or, well, flying. Adjust with the stick or keys to avoid any unexpected meetings with buildings. Landing? Just reverse the process, and remember, practice makes perfect!

Honestly, just push buttons until it works. Worked for me!
You don't really fly the Hydra - the Hydra flies you. Remember to switch between hover and flight modes, or you'll end up swimming instead.
