For the mission, see Verdant Meadows (mission).

Verdant Meadows

Verdant Meadows is an abandoned airstrip in Bone County, San Andreas that is in use from time to time for 'Black Budget' operations by different factions of the U.S. Government. It is the location of Flight School - in which participation is a compulsory part of the core storyline. CJ buys the Verdant Meadows Airstrip when doing missions for Mike Toreno. The abandoned AC tower acts as a safehouse for the player. The airstrip includes a small garage on-site and a large hangar which acts as a garage to save aircraft in. While the hangar is very large, it can only store four vehicles. Verdant Meadows is based on aircraft boneyards.

The landing strip can be used to land aircraft like the other airports, and when acquired it shows up as a landing strip. However, there is a no-fly zone to the south, and flying over the area will result in a five star wanted level and surface to air missiles being fired at your aircraft.

Vehicles

Hunter (after completion of the Flight School with all gold medals achieved)
Hydra (after completing the mission Vertical Bird)
Jetpack (available after the mission Black Project)
Leviathan (after completing the mission Up, Up and Away!)
PCJ-600
Rustler (after completion of the Flight School with all bronze medals or higher achieved)
Stunt Plane (after completion of the Flight School with all silver medals or higher achieved)

Note: When both the Hunter and Leviathan are unlocked, only one of them can spawn at a time. Arrive from the west to spawn the Hunter and arrive from the east to spawn the Leviathan.
