	* According to the game's files, the Vortex is considered an aircraft rather than a boat or a car. Because of this, ~~the player will get~~ attacked by [[Surface-to-Air Missile\|~~SAM~~]] ~~missiles for driving it near~~ [[Area 69]] or the [[Easter Basin Naval Station]], ~~and~~ [[~~Hydra~~]]~~s will attempt to shoot~~ the ~~player down at a~~ [[~~Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Four stars\|four-star wanted level~~]]. Additionally, regular [[Police Maverick]]s will ~~not~~ shoot the player. And as mentioned before, once it takes enough damage it will explode in multiple successions, like an aircraft.

	==Description==		== Description ==
	The Vortex is a single-seater drivable hovercraft, capable of moving on land and water, and glide short distances. Steering is difficult because it has a fan with a rudder rather than wheels or a rudder in the water, thus having no contract to the ground or water and no grip. It is possible to glide the Vortex for a short period of time if the player sends the vehicle flaying off of a high location, and has a good driving skill.
