The '''Skylift''' is a very large heavy-lift [[helicopter]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s episode [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. It resembles a [[wp:S-64 Skycrane|S-64 Skycrane/Aircrane]]. It is first seen in the mission [[Caught with your Pants Down]], where it is being used to transport an [[APC]] across [[Algonquin]], in which [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] must shoot the chains holding it up to send the APC crashing to earth in order to steal it for [[Yusuf Amir]]. It is also seen in the mission [[For the Man Who Has Everything]], where Yusuf flys one in order to hijack a traincar from the Liberty City Rail System. The helicopter is very large, resulting in slow movement. | The '''Skylift''' is a very large heavy-lift [[helicopter]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s episode [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].

When the Skylift is obtained it can be saved at a safehouse as long as it has a lot space. The magnet dosn't work, simply because it isn't intended to be obtainable, so there is no animation for it working (except during 'For the Man Who Has Everything') | When the Skylift is obtained it can be saved at a [[Safehouses in GTA IV|safehouse]] as long as it has a lot space.
