The News Helicopter (aka: News Maverick, VCN Maverick) is a helicopter that first appeared on Grand Theft Auto: [[Vice City]] and then in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]. It is essentially a 2 door "shortened" Maverick helicopter with News markings. Due to the shorter length and changed game physics for this helicopter, people that regulairly fly the regular [[Maverick]] may have difficulty getting used to this one. They are available on Vice City: On top of the news building, and on San Andreas; the only known method of obtaining one is by starting a race (known as: "Whirly Bird checkpoint") failing it and taking it to the private hangar. On [[Liberty City Stories]] it is technically possible to obtain the helicopter by a third party trainer program, however it has no "skin" and the helicopter will appear either totally white or totally silver depending on the version of the game.

A News Chopper in GTA San Andreas.

The News Chopper, also known as the News Maverick and News Helicopter, is a helicopter appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The helicopter is essentially the same as the VCN Maverick introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Description

The News Chopper is a 2 door "shortened" Maverick helicopter with SAN News news markings. The vehicle is harder to fly than the Maverick due to its freer controls and can flip over whilst in the air.

There are only two ways of obtaining a News Helicopter in GTA San Andreas: the first is to start and fail the Whirly Bird Waypoint race and the second is obtained a four star wanted level and attempting to hijack one that flies close to the player. It is easier to steal as it flies closer to the player.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has its own version of this helicopter called the VCN Maverick. The VCN Maverick is obtainable through third party trainer programs in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is worth noting the internal name of the News Chopper in GTA San Andreas is "vcnmav", suggesting GTA Vice City's VCN Maverick is reused for the News Chopper. The registration number on the tail of the helicopter is also identical to the one seen on the VCN Maverick.

Trivia

  • Like most other aircraft in GTA San Andreas, the News Chopper plays K-DST by default.

Locations

  • Can be found alongside the Police Maverick if you have four or more wanted levels.
  • At the "Whirly Bird Waypoint" race, started at Las Venturas airport, is where you'll be piloting the News Chopper. You can fly it to the Verdant Meadows Airstrip and fly it into the big hangar to save it.
