Fastest Air vehicle from spawning to target?

[Accel Lex]

Currently I use the MK2 Bike.
I also have the Sparrow chopper but I'm assuming jets are faster.
I'm looking for a reliable vehicle that can get me to my destination faster.
Combat capabilities would be great but not necessary.
The usual debate I hear is Hydra vs Lazer. Hydra having VTOL but slower takeoff.
I don't know much about the other contenders.

I like the MK2 since it can spawn right next to me. But if another faster aircraft can do that, even better. If not, using the MK2 to get to wherever it spawns would be nice.

Strictly speaking of top speed, the Pyro would be #1 at 222.75mph, followed by the Rogue (219.5mph) and Hydra (209.25mph). However, dealing with the spawn in factor, my hunch would be the MK2 will be quickest generally speaking and that's something I refuse to own (Thruster Jetpack suits my needs just fine in that area).

avenger is gud at fast traveling from merrywether docks to paleto in 30 secs

The good thing about hydra is it spawns in helipads which means more spawn points than other planes.

I like Akula, its the most versatile aicraft , because of stealth mode and as fast as Sparrow, but with armor. Hydra has the best top speed if you need to fly 10 km or do prep missions to shoot 10 Duggans in solo. The Molotok has insane airbreak to land anywhere as a jet. Nothing beats sparrow in general for spawning anywhere tho

I wanted to get that one too but I was told that the MKII was higher recommended. How is Thruster Jetpack? I forgot about it to be honest.

I have an Avenger, but I don't use it. I only did to test it out. The weapons were amazing. At 5 stars I was just casually shooting anything that came at me. But as solo player most of the time, it takes time to get into weapons.

I don't even know which spawn where. So that's great to know, thanks! :D

As a tool for traveling quickly, I think it's the bees knees. Similar to the Oppressor MK2, I can spawn the Thruster via the Mechanic and have it appear very close. The major downside is that the homing missiles are lackluster, or generally they'll be fine if I'm going after ground targets, but flying targets often get missed, especially relatively near. So if I'm trying to do something like Duggan Shipments solo, I'll take out my Hydra, but if the job needs me to get from downtown to Paleto Bay just to pick something up, I'll take the jetpack.

There are times in the southeast side of map, the crates, where my MKII spawns very far away. And some missions like Heists don't let me spawn it. Do jetpacks work there?

It would probably use the same spawn points available, or I doubt that would be different for the jetpack compared to other vehicles. And jetpacks are like MK2s (and many other weaponized vehicles) in being blocked for instanced heist work, but you can still use them for freeroam tasks.

Top1 speed - Kosatka teleports and teleports to office/agency with CEO Shef Helicopter ))

Top2 speed - summon NEAR you for 1 second (and no need to run to road):

a). sparrow (if you have kosatka)
b). or Buzzard Attack Chopper (as CEO ability, if you buy it)
c). or opressor mk2 (as president of mc)

it is very fast, because i'll repeat: you don't have to run to the roads + you don't have to wait for delivery time

About airplanes: All airplanes can spawn very far... And while you will reach them - you can waste a lot of time.

So, they are top, only if you summon them near their spawn places.

just request avenger, fly to paleto in 30 secs, profit

Sparrow and Buzzard fly at double the speed of the MK2 tho.

For general purpose just use mk2. It fits into small alleys/buildings/under bridges. A lot faster take off. By the time your helicopter's blades spin up you can already be half way to your destination with mk2. If you need to cross map then just job teleport which makes higher speed of other flying stuff irrelevant.

Thank you for your feedback. I'll have to try it out. I'm going to check out videos of how it works because when someone showed me the stats it said it's basically MKII but slower/worse and I didn't think twice since I was trying to get most versitile. This definitely helps me take another look at it. Cheers!
