SPOILERS Cyrus' Black F-69

Kinzie's loyalty mission, Cyrus comes in with his jet, and you are expected to blow it up.

As it turns out, not the only way that part of the fight can go down.

Between regular jumping and DFA hits, it is possible to land on his plane and either surf it, or throw the bum out. Half the time I get kicked out at the same time as Cyrus so the plane goes on an uncontrolled landing.

'Pilot' Cyrus is nearly unkillable, but you need to track him down before the mission will continue. Fortunately he shoots at you with a burst rifle and is the only red dot around, so tracking him down isn't too bad. You can spend your time venting your frustrations out on him, but to kill him and move on you have to grab his as a shield and snap his neck.

As a fun side note, that body hangs around afterward.

Landing it is a little wonky though, it must have no mass set because the slightest problems with the landing area will have it rapidly sliding and spinning away. Also, at least during that mission, it wasn't destroyed by water so it would continue flipping along until it hit the next shore.
Leaving it too close to the battlefield runs the risk of it being used as a TK projectile, but if you can manage to keep it safe and in one place, you can finish out the mission in it:

UNFORTUNATELY, unlike some missions/activities where finishing out in a vehicle leaves you in the vehicle afterward, this one reloads you on foot with all traces of battle and Stag gear wiped away.
So, while I do have a vague sense of accomplishment from going through all that trouble, all I have to show for it are screenshots and a story of doing something the game didn't expect. I hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks folks, glad to see the work appreciated.

It is a shame the vehicle storing doesn't work in that mission, some of that STAG gear, like Cyrus' ride, is pretty sweet.

I may need to go back through for more screenshots, fun bit of a mission.
Even if they do make you get out of the tank you brought to the party to climb into a different tank.

That's because Destructors are made of paper. The Crusader is still the strongest tank in the game. I think it's even stronger than the prototype Destructor from Keymaster.
 
I never knew I had a VTOL. Also Why are you tryin' to find me?
