A News Chopper in GTA San Andreas.

The News Chopper, also known as the News Maverick and News Helicopter, is a helicopter appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The helicopter is essentially the same as the VCN Maverick introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Description

The News Chopper is basically a 2 door "shortened" Maverick helicopter with news markings. The vehicle is harder to fly than the Maverick due to its freer controls and can flip over whilst in the air.

There are only two ways of obtaining a News Helicopter in GTA San Andreas: the first is to start and fail the Whirly Bird Waypoint race and the second is obtained a four star wanted level and attempting to hijack one that flies close to the player.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has its own version of this helicopter called the VCN Maverick. The VCN Maverick is obtainable through third party trainer programs in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is worth noting the internal name of the News Chopper in GTA San Andreas is "vcnmav", suggesting GTA Vice City's VCN Meverick is reused for the News Chopper.

Locations

  • Can be found alongside the Police Maverick if you have four or more wanted levels.
  • At the "Whirly Bird Waypoint" race, where you'll be piloting the News Chopper.
