The first time the player could fly the Shamal was in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. The plane, despite its interior size, can only transport the player. The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and is easy to land on runways. The plane draws its influence from the [[wp:Learjet 60|Learjet 60]]. | The first time the player could fly the Shamal was in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

The most prominent appearance of the Shamal is during "[[Freefall]]", when the plane's interior can be seen. The size of the interior appears larger than usual for an aircraft with a relatively small fuselage, and the interior incongruously features 16 windows (9 on the left and 7 on the right) when the plane features only 8 outside. | The most prominent appearance of the Shamal is during "[[Freefall]]", when the plane's interior can be seen.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], numerous Shamals can be found at the [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], though they cannot be used by the player. | [[File:Businessjet-GTAIII-front.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A business jet prop in GTA III.]] | ||
In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and then [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, the player could not fly the plane. The plane has also been depicted in take-off and landing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the player can stand on the plane's wing while it's accelerating to fly away, but will most likely fall after a while, and in GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is seen entering and exiting [[Escobar International Airport]] from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane in GTA Vice City Stories, but it is not controllable. Similarly, a business jet is used as an escape vehicle during a cutscene of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]'s [[Freedom Flies|final mission]]. | |||

The Shamal in GTA IV and GTA V features an updated design, though very close to the GTA San Andreas iteration. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], numerous Shamals can be found at the [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], though they cannot be used by the player. A Shamal is used by [[Kenny Petrovic]] during the [[Hangman's NOOSE]] [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] mission wherein up to four players must hold back [[NOOSE]] units and escort Petrovic from his jet at Francis International Airport to a safepoint. It can be concluded that the jets in question are Shamals, as an identical, controllable model would appear in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. | |||
The Shamal in | The Shamal is now a controllable aeroplane in GTA V, available in different liveries. It retains the good handling and performance of its GTA: SA rendition, although it has ceded the fastest civilian jet title to the [[Vestra]] in the Business Update. Also introduced alongside the Shamal is its private jet cousin, the [[Luxor]]. | ||
