+The '''Shamal''' is a multi-role, jet powered business [[Fixed-Wing Aircraft|airplane]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]],  [[Grand Theft Auto V]], and [[Grand Theft Auto Online]].
+== Description ==
+=== 3D Universe ===
+The first time the player could fly the Shamal was in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. The plane, despite its interior size, can only transport the player. The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and is easy to land on runways. 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 16 windows (9 on the left and 7 on the right) when the plane features only 8 outside (4 on each side).

+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. Similarly, a business jet is used as an escape vehicle during a cutscene of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]'s [[Freedom Flies|final mission]].

+==== Design ====
+The Shamal in GTA IV and GTA V features an updated design, though very close to the GTA San Andreas iteration. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], numerous Shamals can be found at the [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], though they cannot be used by the player. A Shamal 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. It can be concluded that the jets in question are Shamals, as an identical, controllable model would appear in [[Grand Theft Auto V]].
+The Shamal is now a controllable aeroplane in GTA V, available in different liveries ([[Air Emu]], white and blue; [[Air Herler]], white and blue; [[FlyUS]], white, red, and blue; and [[MyFly]], white and red). It retains the good handling and performance of its GTA San Andreas rendition, although it has ceded the fastest civilian jet title to the [[Vestra]] as of the Business Update. Also introduced alongside the Shamal is its private jet cousin, the [[Luxor]].
-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.
+==== Performance ====
+The Shamal retains its easy handling from GTA: San Andreas. It is ideal for crew transport where a Titan is too large. As a jet, it lacks the characteristic nose-down sinking found in the game's propeller planes; it is thus suitable for those learning to fly light jets. Its engines are fairly durable; the player can continue to fly with one damaged engine for a substantial amount of time before having to land.

 == Locations ==
-The Shamal can be found at [[Los Santos International Airport]], [[Easter Bay International Airport]] and [[Las Venturas Airport]]. It is always seen unmarked.
+; GTA San Andreas
+* [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA III Era|Los Santos International Airport]], just north of the runway. Like the [[Dodo]] in the same area, this Shamal is always unlocked regardless of the player's [[Pilot School]] progress, allowing the player access to an aircraft early in the game if they can get in the airport tarmac area via unusual means.
+* [[Easter Bay Airport]], west of the Nevada.
+* [[Las Venturas Airport]], parked north of a pair of Dodos.
+; GTA V
+* Can be purchased for $1,150,000.
+* Parked at a gate near the Flight School gate.
+* Parked outside a hangar next to Franklin's hangar, next to a [[Luxor]] at [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|Los Santos International Airport]].
+* Found landing on runway 3, and taxiing close to the parking lots of the [[Jet]]s at Los Santos International Airport.
 == Similar aircraft ==
-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 [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], [[Ray Bulgarin]] owns a jet called a [[Ghawar]], similar to the Shamal.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], business jets still remain uncontrollable (nor can any other planes be flown) but such vehicles can still be found at [[Francis International Airport]], featuring an updated design. 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.
+== Trivia ==
+* In GTA San Andreas, when in the interior of the Shamal, the player can shoot out the lights and headrests.
+* Like most other aircraft in GTA San Andreas, the Shamal plays [[K-DST]] by default.
+== See also ==
+* [[Ghawar]], non-controllable equivalent in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
