The Jet is based on the [[:wp:Boeing 747-400|Boeing 747-400]]. It is the second largest controllable vehicle in the game, only smaller than the Cargo Plane. Jets with multiple liveries can be seen taking off and landing at Los Santos International Airport and parked near the terminal. A Jet can be entered pressing the enter vehicle button while standing near the plane. Oddly, no animation exists for entering the plane | The Jet is based on the [[:wp:Boeing 747-400|Boeing 747-400]].

Oddly, no animation exists for entering the plane - the player will simply warp into the cockpit at this point. | ||
===Handling=== | ===Handling=== | ||
The bulky appearance of the Jet betrays its unrealistic handling. It is on par with the [[Shamal]] and the [[Luxor]] in this aspect, and it is faster than the two private propeller planes in the game. It is harder to manoeuvre in the air because of its size, but stunts can be easily performed while flying. On the ground, the Jet responds unrealistically quickly to rudder turns. The heaviness of the plane is only felt when taking off - the body of the aircraft takes a good two to three seconds longer to lift off the ground together with the nose. | The bulky appearance of the Jet betrays its unrealistic handling.

The size of the airplane makes it considerably hard to land and impossible to save in the player's hangars - the latter of which is unnecessary, because of the proliferation of Jets around the runway grounds. It is possible, but extremely hard, to land the Jet on the longer runways at [[Sandy Shores Airfield]], as the rocks, fences, and other objects may hit the low-mounted engines and cause the plane to explode on impact. The Jet is obviously too large to land at [[McKenzie Airfield]]. | The size of the airplane makes it considerably hard to land and impossible to save in the player's hangars - the latter of which is unnecessary, because of the proliferation of Jets around the runway grounds.
