For the mission, see Verdant Meadows (mission).

Verdant Meadows

Verdant Meadows is an abandoned airstrip in Bone County, San Andreas that is in use from time to time for 'Black Budget' operations by different factions of the U.S. Government. It is the location of Flight School - in which participation is a compulsory part of the core storyline. CJ buys the Verdant Meadows Airstrip when doing missions for Mike Toreno. The abandoned AC tower acts as a safehouse for the player. The airstrips includes a small garage on-site and a large hangar which acts as a garage to save aircraft in. While the hangar is very large, it can only store four vehicles. The airstrip is about a quarter mile long and about forty yards wide^(?). Verdant Meadows is based on aircraft boneyards.

The landing strip can be used to land aircraft like the other airports, and when acquired it shows up as a landing strip. However, there is a no-fly zone to the south surrounding Area 69, flying over the area will result in a five star Wanted Level and surface to air missiles being fired at your aircraft.

Only a PCJ-600 is seen at the airstrip but by the end of the game, several aircraft are acquired at the airstrip, including a Rustler, Stunt Plane, and Hunter after completion of the Flight School, a Leviathan after completing the mission Up, Up and Away!, and a Hydra after completing the mission Vertical Bird.

Trivia

The name "Verdant Meadows" means "full of green vegetation" but the airstrip is the opposite.
Mike Toreno claims it previously belonged to Russians.
