Airplanes were first made available as controllable vehicles with the introduction of the [[Dodo]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], which was significantly difficult to fly. Unlike [[helicopter]]s, however, controllable airplanes do not enjoy consistent appearances since GTA III, with [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] featuring only one airplane, [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] featuring up to eleven such aircraft, [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] featuring none at all with out a third party mod or cheat device, [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] featuring two airplanes, and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] featuring none at all. | Airplanes were first made available as controllable vehicles with the introduction of the [[Dodo]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], which was significantly difficult to fly.

GTA San Andreas includes realism in the damage engine of airplanes by allowing certain portions of an airplane to malfunction and weaken controls or engine power (indicated by smoke and flapping airplane parts) if they lightly hit an object, and programming the aircraft to explode on impact if flown head on to any solid object or water. | GTA San Andreas includes realism in the damage engine of airplanes by allowing certain portions of an airplane to malfunction and weaken controls or engine power (indicated by smoke and flapping airplane parts) if they lightly hit an object, and programming the aircraft to explode on impact if flown head on to any solid object or water. | ||

* 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 an airplane and a [[SAM]] missile is fired at you, your airplane 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 airplane, so you can time your evasive maneuvers. | |||
