I've given a thumbs up. However, the flights ... the jet was too hard to keep accurate. I did this when at about 70% so Trevor had $1.1 in the bank. Bought the mallard (stunt plane) $250,000. So much easier did each flight first time.

The under the bridge. Again at the same point in the game Trevor has the chopper from the IAA mission (frogger is the chopper) Trevor has sprayed his company name on it. This chopper was firstly better available and smaller and easier to use.

Other than this great guides!!

Completed this after the final mission when I could purchase the Western Bersa for the knife flights and buzzard for under the bridge. If you're going for a run and unsure you'll make it (UTB 28-33) then do a quick save from your mobile phone in game. The video links work great!

Donn't usw the Maverick. Use the Frogger. It's smaller and passes easier under narrow bridges...
I think after completing the game Trevor will have one.

There's already a lot of chatter on the video's comments but in case someone is stuck at 48 or 49 bridges, retry #12 and/or #13 since those need to be clean (no hits to the walls, touching the ground). Try using the Buzzard (can buy it on Warstock website) since it's smaller than the Maverick and the Frogger...

EDIT** As of 2023 is nearly impossible to steal an Hydra from Fort Zancudo (some folks on the YT vids say Rockstar patched it to make it harder). Anywho, instead of doing that fools errand, purchase the Besra from Elitas Travel website (costs 658K) which is a smaller jet or you can attempt Knife Flights with the Mallard from the Flight School as well.

My stats show 50/50 on the bridges and 15/15 on the knife flights and thr avhievement won't pop. Any ideas? I've tried rebooting game, changing characters, waiting an extended time and doing one of the bridges a second time.

Check it out. An Achievement Hunter map!

http://maps.achievementhunter.com/guides/overview/grandtheft...

But here's some tips. For the under the bridge ones you will want a Buzzard so buy one from the Warstock website or take it from the Army Base. You can get into the army base without drawing any attention to yourself when you're doing the 2nd Cletus mission when he teaches you how to hunt animals instead of satellite dishes. But if you've passed the mission up without doing it (like me) then your best bet is to fly into the army base. There are 2 places I've seen where they spawn, in front of the Eastern and central hangars. If you try this then abuse that quick save function. Save as you fly in, save as soon as you get in the chopper and save multiple times as you leave. From my experience the fastest route is to fly the chopper south to the runway, then west away from the SAMs and Rhinos and fly over the fence before the bridge, staying as low as you can to not get shot down. Every time you load up the enemies have to respawn and you have about 100 Meters around you clear.

For the knife flight, buy a mallard or wait for one at Trevor's airfield in Sandy shores. They land occasionally, alternating between that and the crop duster. Or buy it from Elias and store it for future use.

You can also get a buzzard (very easily) at the NOOSE Headquarters on the rooftop which is located on the right side of the highway just before the reststop where you race the cars you intend to steal in a Devin Weston mission

make sure you haven't done it. I know that on Trevor's flight missions you have to fly under them for the gold medal in a mission.

yeah i remember those but those were on the north river if that makes sense. the two im trying to do are to the south of the army base. idk i might just try to go do them all again. it seems as if a few of the knife flights aren't registering either. i hope im just doing them wrong lol.

AH! my problem was the saving thing, maybe you guys should re check the ones you remember quicksaving before. there was one where I went about 5 in a row before crashing and then had to re-do those 5 because the save wasn't any closer.

For the knife flights, if you go to the LS Flight School, and pick the hot knife mission I think its the 4th one, you can do all the knife flights in this mission, and if you crash and die it just restarts you at the runway instead of at a hospital, imo this is much better, at least for going for the flights in ls. Also a way to do it w/o having to buy an airplane not that money is really an issue on this game.

The map is great. Remember for collectibles that you can get on the rockstar social club website and it will show you the locations of all the items you have found, and the ones you are missing.

I ended up with 48/50 a flew under every single one twice but I found out the problem was that I wasn't using a buzzard for the 49 and 50 which are the two narrow bridges. You HAVE to use a buzzard for these two to fit in-between them without touching the sides. I used this video to find a buzzard much easier with no trouble from anyone.

So wait, even if if you touch the sides, you're screwed? I'm doing it with Trevor's Frogger and got 48/50, but now I'm stuck. :(

Good tip regarding the Buzzard. I originally did these with a Frogger but was stuck at 47/50. So I redid the ones in Los Santos that I most likely clipped with the rotor blades with a Buzzard and got to 50/50.

So be warned, despite the AchievementHunter guy unlocking the bridges despite clipping the structure with the helicopter, it doesn't seem to work like that anymore.

Okay guys following the website from achievement hunters as shown on Tonyski's solution guide I have my own tips for the people who have/had the same problem as me. (Thinking you have done all under the bridges but still says you have 49/50)

If you have completed the game with or without the career criminal achievement or not ensure to do a quick save or 2 (1 for backup) right,

When you start a new game the map

1. Either complete all the under the bridges again (Not Recommended) as some can be difficult to get and you are unsure if you have done them or not. Recommended solution would be to start a new game.

2. If you followed to start a new game you should have the map all visible, all you want to do really is go to NOOSE and get the chopper when you have completed the first 2 missions (Prologue and Franklin & Lemar) when in the chopper use the achievement hunter map (turn off autosave [optional but recommended]).

3. If you use the map you can also watch a little video to show how to do it properly but if you know pretty much where they all are no point in the video I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you follow the under the bridges in order or the map guides 1-50 even though it sounds stupid as there is 1 in the city and number 2 is at top of the map but it is easier to know which ones you have done because doing it in order you have as much time as you want to complete the bridges, QUICK SAVE EVERY 5 Bridges OR if you think your chopper is going to get destroyed.

4. Now when you have completed all 50 under the bridges you need to do 15 knife flight challenges so what you wanna do is fly or get a taxi over to the firefighter plane/jet located in fort zancudo but this could be difficult or you could go to airport and get a airplane or if your lucky a stunt plane (the airplane small jets are hard to knife flight in my opinion) if all fails and don't mind cheating there is the easy way which I took.

Note: if you manage to get the jet from the fort zancudo and you get hit by a missile from a tank but still flying with smoke coming out then quicksave and load to make it back to 100% but be careful because you will still have them trying to take you down until you have gone way past the area.
5. Again try this in order there are 4 together that can be a little misleading on how to get them and at what angle but what I did on the ones trapped together was knife flight through every gap between buildings which is doable (mostly obvious buildings anyway) if your guessing it will probably take you 5mins longer than watching the video(s).

EASY WAY (via cheat): Finding it hard to get into fort zancudo?? fed up of trying can't find a plane that is easily controlled?

Enter this code in a big space (anywhere away from roads and trees)
Spawn Stunt Plane: B, Right, LB, LT, Left, RB, LB, LB, Left, Left, A, Y

TIPS: If you decide to use a cheat code it will say "all achievements will be locked during session" not a problem, when you are in the air and safe quick save and reload this part is IMPORTANT as if you decide to do flights in stunt plane on the same save without loading the achievement may or may not pop so quicksave and quickload to be 100% sure the achievement will unlock

Quick save after every flight if possible if you feel confident enough to do a few at a time then okay but to make it so you don't have to cheat again or reload save from the previous knife flights quick save after every single flight.

After number 15 is complete you can concentrate back on your main save for the achievements you have missed (if any).

Hope this helps guys it worked well with me, please comment if you succeed so I can add any information you guys may have and I will upload into this guide :)

Good luck

Using the achievement hunter map is the best way to find all of these because they link you to all the videos and you can mark them as found as you go so you don't have to worry about missing any or having to redo them.

http://maps.achievementhunter.com/guides/overview/grandtheft...

You can do all of the bridges with the helicopter Trevor has from the story for all of them but #49 and #50 because these bridges are too narrow. This was my problem as I ended up 2 short even though I thought I got these since I flew under them like 30 times. So if you end up falling a couple bridges short, here is a link to a video I used to easily find a buzzard. Then you want to do these bridges first because it is likely these are the ones you are missing.


Also as a tip before you do any of the difficult bridges or knife flight quick save on your in game phone right before so if you crash you won't have to respawn and go find another heli/plane, you can load up the save to right before the bridge/knife flight. This will save you TONS of time.

1.Save frequently.
As everyone here has mentioned, make sure to save before AND after each bridge/knife flight. If you fail before successfully completing one, simply reload your most recent save and it’ll take you back to try it again.

2. Specific Vehicles
I bought the helipad in Vespucci with Franklin as my character and then bought the Buzzard but you don’t have to do that. Just follow everyone else’s recommendations here about how to obtain one for free. I do however highly recommend the Buzzard as it fits under every single bridge.
As for the knife flights I broke into Fort Zancudo and stole a jet, it’s not entirely difficult to do this but you have to be quick. I recommend watching videos online to know how to do this, my go to YouTube channel for GTA achievements is PowerPyx. If you find the jet too difficult then another good option is the stunt plane.

3. If your aircraft gets too damaged...
A really neat and quick trick is to switch to another character then quickly switch back to the character you were using for this achievement. You will find that your aircraft will have miraculously repaired itself to its former glory. Before switching make sure you are in a safe place and not about to crash!

4. To try and avoid 49/50...
Make sure to pay attention and that it clearly states “completed” as sometimes it will either say nothing or it says “failed” for example if you die before completing properly. This is important as it happened to me with the stunt jumps and I had to redo every jump until I found the missing one.

It is possible to perform the 15 Knife Flight maneuvers at the Flight School with Trevor. Just select the Knife Flight lesson and do all 15 tricks. With each maneuver performed, the game is automatically saved. If you die, you won't lose money on hospital expenses and you won't have to wait for the long load (Xbox One) of the previous save, in addition to saving time to catch another plane. The 15 maneuvers are all close to the Flight School, so it was much more relaxed this way. For knife flights I do not recommend the military aircraft, although it is smaller, it is heavy, fast and not very agile.
