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 carries a .50 caliber machine gun mounted below its fuselage, between the pontoons.
In GTA Vice City, it is unlocked by collecting 80 hidden packages, and is intended as a bonus to the player. In GTA San Andreas, the Seasparrow 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 (particular GTA San Andreas' Oysters), quick maneuvering, and shooting down other helicopters.
The Pontoons on this helicopter make it possible for it to lad on water without sinking.
