The Raindance is based on the Sikorsky S-70A, the civilian version of the famous [[:wp:S-70 Blackhawk|UH-60A Blackhawk]]. It's livery is modeled on the Los Angeles County Fire Department's colors. | The Raindance is based on the Sikorsky S-70A, the civilian version of the famous [[:wp:S-70 Blackhawk|UH-60A Blackhawk]].

As an emergency vehicle, the helicopter is depicted with only a white, yellow and blue livery (unless the Black Traffic/Pink Traffic cheats are on, in which case, only the blue stripe is truly permanent as the cheats only affect vehicles' first two colors; which looks somewhat like the U.S. Customs and Border Protection livery). The Raindance is slower than the [[Maverick]] or [[Sparrow]], but is the best handling helicopter in the game. | ||
The Raindance is comparable to the [[Annihilator]] from [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], which is based on the same real-life helicopter, but is equipped with additional weaponry and is actively used by the police. | The Raindance is comparable to the [[Annihilator]] from [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], which is based on the same real-life helicopter, but is equipped with additional weaponry and is actively used by the police. | ||
