***********************************Introduction*************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Hi, man.   That seems that some people still have problems flying the 
clipped-wing plane even after reading the FAQ about flying the Dodo posted by 
Unsteady Dood. Then this FAQ is especially for you. Have fun!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****************************Before you start flying******************************* 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           
  First to fly the Rhino you need to enter 2 Cheats. The first one is : Circle, 
circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, R1, L2, L1, triangle, circle,  triangle. It 
is a Rhino code. 
The second is : Right, R2, circle, R1, L2, down, L1, R1. The message will confirm a 
correct code entry.  Hop in the Rhino and turn the turret using the right analog 
stick. The turret should now be faced in the rear of the Rhino. Drive to the 
airport runway that you have chosen and face the tank towards Staunton Island. Use 
only a view you like.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*************************************Take-Off************************************** 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  
             Don’t worry about the planes because you will go straight through 
them. Hold X button and start firing the turret pressing the circle button. As soon 
as you reach the terminal speed, you will begin to lift off. Do not press the up 
button . You will begin gaining attitude. As  soon  as you  reach the height of  
the Callahan  Bridge  tap  down. You must now be heading for Staunton Island.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***************************************Stability************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

                Now that you are in the air you need to learn how not to crash. 
First be sure that you are still firing the turret. Not doing it will cause you to 
descend and crash. Never let the nose go higher 75 degrees. Doing this will cause 
you to stall out and dive straight into the ground. If the Rhino is shaking, it is 
because of the winds ignore it and fly forward as if nothing is happening. Don’t 
panic and you will be fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****************************************Turning*************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               
                 Turning the Rhino is extremely difficult. You should lightly tap 
and never hold. Holding the turning buttons will cause you to go into a Barrel Roll 
and crash. Not too much fun.  It is impossible to recover from a Barrel Roll in the 
Rhino. That’s all what I can say about turning the tank.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*************************************Gaining altitude****************************** 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Imagine yourself flying relatively parallel to Earth , exploring the 
city and suddenly a skyscraper appear in front of you. What to do!? In situations 
like that you must ascend fast. Press the up button to do it. Unlike the Dodo you 
can gain as much attitude as you want. You can also gain altitude by flying around 
the coast 
of the islands.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************Do’s And Don’ts of flying*************************** 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Do’s : 
        1.   Enjoy 
        2.   Keep firing the turret.
        3.   Lightly tap right or left to turn.
        4.   Explore the city.
 
        Don’ts :                  

        1.      Panic.
        2.	Fly over the edge of the map.
        3.	Stop firing the turret.
        4.	Turn too quickly.
        5.	Fly over unique jumps

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
******************************Landing the Rhino************************************ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Now that you are able to take-off you should now be able to land 
too. For take-off you must turn the turret as it was when you entered the Rhino 
cheat and fire four to five times and make sure that the nose of the tank is at a 
325 degree angle. Rhino will begin to descend and soon you will land. Press the 
brake button to stop the tank completely. At first I recommend you  to take-off 
from the runway that is used and land on the Callahan bridge.
