Parked Raindance helicopter

The Raindance is a medium-sized transport helicopter that is found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is based on the Sikorsky S-70, the civilian model of the famous UH-60 Blackhawk.

Description

Despite its implied use by the San Andreas Fire Department for rescuing and medical emergencies, the helicopter is never seen flying over the player or in actuality is used by the fire department. As an emergency vehicle, the helicopter is depicted with only a white, yellow and blue livery, unless the Black Traffic/Pink Traffic cheats are on, in which case, only the blue stripe is truly permanent; in this respect it resembles both the U.S. Customs S-70s, used for border patrol and Anti-Narcotic Operations. The Raindance is slower than the Maverick or Sparrow, but is the best handling helicopter in the game.

The Raindance is comparable to the Annihilator from GTA IV, which is based on the same real-life helicopter but is equipped with additional weaponry and is actively used by the police.

Locations

In Santa Maria Beach, south of the Santa Maria Beach Safehouse and west of the red marker where you are to do the Beat The Cock triathlon.
In Easter Bay International Airport, beside a Leviathan and the control tower.
At the top of the San Fierro Medical Center in Santa Flora, next to a Maverick.
