An unnamed helicopter, simply known henceforth as the '''helicopter''', is an aircraft in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].


The '''Helicopter''' is a vehicle in [[GTA III]] which cannot be controlled by the player. The helicopter is used by [[Catalina]] as a means to drop explosives on [[Cochrane Dam]] in an attempt to kill the player. However, like the [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|police helicopter]], Catalina's helicopter can be shot down the same way: With a rocket launcher or a powerful gun.
== Description ==
The helicopter is essentially a civilian variant of [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|GTA III's police helicopter]] (also unnamed), but is colored white, and lacks the gunner and loudspeaker of the police helicopter. Sharing the same body design as the police helicopter, the helicopter is assumed to be also based on the [[wp:Bell 412|Bell 412]].


==Appearances==
The helicopter is featured in only one mission, "[[The Exchange (mission)|The Exchange]]", where is it used by [[Catalina]] to flee from the [[Cartel Mansion]] in [[Cedar Grove]] to [[Cochrane Dam]]. While it departs from the front of mansion compound, the player is instructed to reach the helicopter's destination at the dam.
* [[The Exchange (mission)]]-[[GTA III]]


==Variants==
As the player pushes through the dam towards Catalina, Catalina reenters the helicopter and uses it to drop explosives on the dam in an attempt to kill the player. However, like the [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|police helicopter]], Catalina's helicopter can be shot down the same way: With a rocket launcher or a powerful gun.
