The '''Skylift''' is a very large heavy-lift [[helicopter]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s episode [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. 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 fly's one in order to hijack a train-car from the Liberty City Rail System. The helicopter is very large, resulting in slow movement.

Even though the Skylift is addressed as unobtainable, the helicopter can still be obtained with a minor exploit involving chasing [[Yusuf Amir]] and retrieving the Skylift after the mission [[For the Man Who Has Everything]], but this trick is difficult to exploit, involving the [[Forum:The Helicopter Sniping Trick|"''helicopter sniping trick''"]]<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YskIVahtMhU</ref>.

When the Skylift is obtained it can be saved at a [[Safehouses in GTA IV|safehouse]] as long as it has a lot space. The magnet doesn'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')
