The News Helicopter (aka: News Maverick, VCN Maverick) is a helicopter that first appeared on Grand Theft Auto: [[Vice City]] and then in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]. It is essentially a 2 door "shortened" Maverick helicopter with News markings. Due to the shorter length and changed game physics for this helicopter, people that regulairly fly the regular [[Maverick]] may have difficulty getting used to this one. They are available on Vice City: On top of the news building, and on San Andreas; the only known method of obtaining one is by starting a race (known as: "Whirly Bird checkpoint") failing it and taking it to the private hangar. On [[Liberty City Stories]] it is technically possible to obtain the helicopter by a third party trainer program, however it has no "skin" and the helicopter will appear either totally white or totally silver depending on the version of the game. | The News Helicopter (aka: News Maverick, VCN Maverick) is a helicopter that first appeared on Grand Theft Auto: [[Vice City]] and then in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]].

The VCN Maverick most closely resembles the YOH-4A, a prototype army helicopter based on the Bell 206 with a shortened fuselage. It was intended to replace the OH-6 Cayuse in the LOH (light observation helicopter) role, but was not selected. | |||
