 === Performance ===
 Aside its beneficial amphibious nature, the Skimmer's performance in the air is very much similar to the Dodo in that they both have the same sluggish acceleration and poor top speed, owing to a low-power engine; the Skimmer also has the tendency of stalling easily even if the upward pitch of the plane is only moderately steep. These traits makes the plane merely suitable for steady, slow air travel.
+==Trivia==
+* The Skimmer is the only fixed-wing plane in GTA Vice City.
+* In the original PlayStation 2 version of GTA Vice City, a Skimmer can acquire wheels if flown into a [[Spray Shop|spray shop]].
+* In GTA Vice City Stories, the plane can reach incredible heights by taking off at a 45 degree angle and at rare times land on top of towers.
+* The Skimmer is the only aircraft in GTA Vice City Stories that is not featured in any storyline mission or sub-mission.
+* Since the plane has no functional doors in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, hostile pedestrians or police officers will not be able to open the door of plane and pull out/arrest the player, simply running against the Skimmer's pontoons without doing anything else.
