Cargobob

The Cargobob is a military helicopter exclusive to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
The Cargobob is the largest and heaviest helicopter in the game, but is the hardest to obtain due to its exclusive availability in high security areas, such as Area 69, which is being guarded by SAMs. For that reason, it is the most underused helicopter in the game, as other helicopters are relatively easy to find after all three cities are unlocked.
While featuring an open rear loading compartment, the Cargobob does not have the ability to fit motorcycles/cars in it, because the ramp from the back cannot be operated. In addition, the Cargobob has no form of defense. However, due to its very heavy weight it is hard to do turns, adjust altitude, evasive maneuvers, but it is very strong; it can take over 12 missiles before catching on fire. Having only two doors, the Cargobob is only capable of seating two.
Influence
The Cargobob's fuselage is most reminiscent of a CH-47 Chinook (bulging fuel tanks, engine, cockpit/nose design, rear loading ramp), however it is configured most similarly to, and bears strong resemblance to, the Sikorsky S-92. The Fenestron tail rotor would most likely not be employed on an aircraft of this size, due to the limitations of a "ducted fan" system in terms of performance when compared to a conventional tail rotor.
Locations
- On the helipad of the K.A.C.C. Military Aviation Fuel Depot in Las Venturas which you can easily enter with a Patriot.
