The Sea Sparrow (also known as the Seasparrow in GTA San Andreas) is a helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

Description

The Sea Sparrow is an improved version of the Sparrow, featuring pontoons instead of landing skids, and a .50 caliber machine gun mounted below its fuselage. The pontoons make it possible for the Sea Sparrow to land on water without sinking.

In GTA Vice City, it is unlocked only by collecting 80 hidden packages and is not found anywhere else in the game.

In GTA San Andreas, the Sea Sparrow does not require unlocking, and can be found in certain places. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sea Sparrow is used during the mission "The Colonel's Coke" and side-mission Land Sea and Air Ace, but cannot be accessed outside of these missions. Because of its fully exposed engine, the Sea Sparrow is highly susceptible to gunfire. It is, however, particularly useful for reaching collectibles (particularly GTA San Andreas' oysters), quick maneuvering, and shooting down other helicopters.

Trivia

If you land the Sea Sparrow on the land and exit the vehicle in GTA Vice City Stories, the helicopter will not be steady, unlike in GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City.
In GTA Chinatown Wars, there is a helicopter similar to the Sea Sparrow. It's based off a different helicopter, but they're not the same ones. It's not to be confused with the Sea Sparrow.
Like most other aircraft in GTA San Andreas, the Seasparrow plays K-DST by default.

Locations

GTA Vice City

Spawns on the back of the Vercetti Estate after collecting 80 hidden packages.

-The '''Sea Sparrow''' is one of only two helicopters in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (although it reads as '''SeaSparrow''' when getting in) that can land on water, and is the only helicopter in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] capable of doing so. It is an improved version of the [[Sparrow]], featuring pontoons instead of skis, and carries a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on the front of its fuselage.
