Cargobob

The Cargobob is a military helicopter exclusive to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
The Cargobob is the largest and heaviest helicopter in the game, but is the hardest to obtain due to its exclusive availability in high security areas, such as Area 69, which is being guarded by SAMs.
Although the Cargobob features an open rear loading compartment, it cannot carry other vehicles, as the ramp from the back cannot be operated. As the Cargobob is very heavy, it is difficult to adjust altitude, turn or conduct other evasive maneuvres; it also lacks any form of defense. It is, however, very strong — it can take over 12 missiles before catching on fire. Having only two doors, the Cargobob is only capable of seating two.
Influence
The Cargobob's fuselage is most reminiscent of a CH-47 Chinook, with its bulging fuel tanks, engine, cockpit/nose design, and rear loading ramp. It is, however, scaled down somewhat, and the configuration of its rear is similar to a Sikorsky S-92. The Fenestron tail rotor seen on the Cargobob would most likely not be employed in an aircraft of this size, due to its performance limitations compared to a conventional tail rotor.
Locations
- On the helipad of the K.A.C.C. Military Aviation Fuel Depot in Las Venturas which you can easily enter with a Patriot.
