A Biplane in GTA Vice City Stories.

The Biplane is an airplane featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, serving as one of only two airplanes in the game, the other being the Skimmer.

Description

The Biplane's design is comparable to the Pitts Special-based Stuntplane from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, being similar in construction as the Stuntplane, but differing in terms of several designs, featuring a sharper nose, an open air cockpit, and a shorter rear stabilizer.

The Biplane's maneuverability is inferior to the Stuntplane, being generally harder to steer, but otherwise possesses a fair speed while in flight. The Biplane can also sustain quite a bit of damage, but can still explode on impact if it crashes.

Locations

  • At the end of the diagonal runway in Escobar International Airport. Triggers the Crims on Wings side mission when entered.
  • In a hangar south of the airport. Triggers the Hyman Memorial O.D.T. side-mission when entered. (PS2 version)

Trivia

  • This is the only flyable plane not to appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
  • When the camera is in cinematic mode, Vic can drive-by. This is the only one of the 2 air vehicles which can perform a drive-by, the other one being the Maverick (Vice City rendition).
  • In the BradyGames guide for GTA Vice City Stories, the boat is actually referred to "Pitts". It is unknown if the name was going to actually be on the based plane.
