The plane draws its influence from the [[wp:Learjet 60|Learjet 60]]. | ||
The most prominent appearance of the Shamal is during "[[Freefall]]", when the plane's interior can be seen. The size of the interior appears larger than usual for an aircraft with a relatively small fuselage, and the interior incongruously features seven sets of windows on each side when the plane features only four outside. | |||

In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and then [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, the player could not fly the plane. The plane has also been depicted in take-off and landing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the player can stand on the plane's wing while it's accelerating to fly away, but will most likely fall after a while, and in GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is seen entering and exiting [[Escobar International Airport]] from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane in GTA Vice City Stories, but it is not controllable. | In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and then [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, the player could not fly the plane.

One such plane is used by [[Kenny Petrovic]] during the [[Hangman's NOOSE]] [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] mission wherein up to four players must hold back [[NOOSE]] units and escort Petrovic from his jet at Francis International Airport to a safepoint. | ||
