* 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. Furthermore, if the player does destroy a Vortex by attacking it enough times to cause it to explode, they also receive a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Two stars|two-star wanted level]], like with aircraft.
