The Shamal is an aircraft that draws its influence from both the Learjet 35 (Fuselage) and Gulfstream IV (Wings), with a cockpit reminiscent 0f the Beechjet 400A.
The Shamal first appeared in Grand Theft Auto III and then Grand Theft Auto: Vice City; however, the player could not fly the plane. In Grand Theft Auto: 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.
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 tbe player. The plane's interior can be seen during the mission Freefall; incongruously, this shows seven sets of windows, despite there being only four on the Shamal model. The Shamal can be found at Los Santos International Airport, Easter Bay International Airport and Las Venturas Airport. It is always seen unmarked.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Shamal is seen entering and exiting Escobar International Airport from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane, but it is not controllable.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Shamal is no longer a flyable aircraft (nor can any other planes be flown). It can be found at Francis International Airport, and features an updated design. The Shamal also appears in the multiplayer mission Hangman's NOOSE, where four players must hold back the N.O.O.S.E. team and escort Kenny Petrovic to the safepoint.
Performance
The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and it's easy to land on runways.
