The Buzzard is a small attack helicopter to be featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC.

Descirption

Similarly armed with machine guns as the Annihilator, as well as featuring missile pods, the Buzzard is evidently based on an AH-6 Little Bird, an attack variant of the MH-6 Little Bird light observation helicopter, which in turn is a military version of the OH-6 Cayuse and the MD 500C. It's important to note that the Buzzard has the old style tail stabilizer, characteristic of the MD-500C and its corresponding defender/AH/MH-6 counterparts.

As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter. This makes it illegal, at least in Liberty City. It may be able to hold four people.

Trivia

  • The Buzzard was confirmed to be available in the "Free Mode" multiplayer mode.
  • Buzzard could be the next generation of Sparrow and Sea Sparrow, as they both share similar design with Buzzard.
  • Before the name was revealed, many fans believed or speculated that it was a Sparrow.
