In GTA 5, jets are aircraft that can fly at extremely high speeds and altitudes. They are recognized for their powerful and weaponized design, making them suitable for combat and transportation.
In this post, let’s figure out the top 10 best jets in GTA 5.
Top 10 Best Jets in GTA 5
All 10 jets we showcase are available in both GTA Online and GTA 5. However, most of them are exclusive to the Online version, so we recommend switching to multiplayer mode to approach them all.
In our case, the term “best” depends mostly on its maximum speed. It takes much time and effort to get used to an aircraft, but when you master it, speed is your only consideration.
Read on to learn about the top 10 best jets in GTA 5.
