Learn how to infiltrate Fort Zancudo, steal the Alkonost jet, and escape the police in Grand Theft Auto V with this step-by-step guide.

Alright, so you need to grab the Alkonost jet for the Cayo Perico Heist. The planning board in your Submarine will kick this off. Your best bet is to use the sub to fast travel close to Fort Zancudo. Driving there yourself takes way longer, trust me.

Once you're at the military base, just drive straight in. Don't worry, the guards won't mess with you since you've got the clearance. Head towards the Hangar marked on your map. Before you go inside, though, make a quick detour around the back. You can cut the power by messing with the breaker box – this makes things a bit easier.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Enter the Hangar: Head inside the Hangar. Keep an eye on your mini-map; you'll see little cones around the guards showing where they're looking. Use the pillars near the entrance for cover and take them all out.

  2. 2

    Find the Laptop: Once the area is clear, make your way to the offices on the west side of the Hangar. The laptop you need is sitting on a crafting bench in the room closest to the stairs.

  3. 3

    Initiate the Hack: Get close to the laptop and press [Right D-PAD] to start the hack.

  4. 4

    Hijack the Alkonost: After the hack, grab the Alkonost jet through the side door. Once you're in, press [R2/RT] to exit the Hangar.

  5. 5

    Escape the Cops: As soon as you're out, you'll have a ton of police on your tail. Take the Alkonost straight up into the clouds. Flying high will make you invisible to them.

  6. 6

    Deliver the Jet: Your destination is Miguel's Hangar at the Los Santos Airport. Fly there with the jet to wrap up this part of the mission.

Tips
  • Cutting the power to the Hangar beforehand can make it a little less hectic inside.
  • Don't forget to fly high above the clouds once you have the jet – it's the easiest way to lose the wanted level.

Successfully delivering the Alkonost jet progresses the Cayo Perico Heist setup.
