In addition to regular civilian transport helicopters, military attack helicopters are available, equipped with armed weaponry since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. Attack helicopters, however, aren't as easily obtainable, as they'll either be inside a military base or another restricted area or will need a certain task to unlock them outside of the areas. An example of an attack helicopter is the [[Hunter]]. Attack helicopters are very useful but will most often earn the player a wanted level when destroying a vehicle. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] there are 2 attack helicopters; the [[Buzzard]] and the [[Annihilator]]. | In addition to regular civilian transport helicopters, military attack helicopters are available, equipped with armed weaponry since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].

* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], if you fly over a no fly zone such as [[Area 69]] (or the [[Easter Basin Naval Station]] before completing [[Vertical Bird]]) in a helicopter and a [[SAM]] missile is fired at you, your helicopter will rapidly beep as a missile warning sign. You will also see a small red triangle on your minimap so you know how close the missile is to your helicopter, so you can time your evasive maneuvers. | |||
