+The '''Shamal''' is a multi-role, jet powered business [[Fixed-Wing Aircraft|airplane]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]],  [[Grand Theft Auto V]], and [[Grand Theft Auto Online]].
+== Description ==
+=== 3D Universe ===
+The first time the player could fly the Shamal was in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. The plane, despite its interior size, can only transport the player. The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and is easy to land on runways. The plane draws its influence from the [[wp:Learjet 60|Learjet 60]].
+The most prominent appearance of the Shamal is during "[[Freefall]]", when the plane's interior can be seen. The size of the interior appears larger than usual for an aircraft with a relatively small fuselage, and the interior incongruously features 16 windows (9 on the left and 7 on the right) when the plane features only 8 outside (4 on each side).

-== Description ==
+In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and then [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, the player could not fly the plane. The plane has also been depicted in take-off and landing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the player can stand on the plane's wing while it's accelerating to fly away, but will most likely fall after a while, and in GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is seen entering and exiting [[Escobar International Airport]] from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane in GTA Vice City Stories, but it is not controllable. Similarly, a business jet is used as an escape vehicle during a cutscene of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]'s [[Freedom Flies|final mission]].

The plane draws its influence from the [[wp:Learjet 60|Learjet 60]]. When the player enters the plane, a small scene is shown where the player pulls out a small fold out staircase and walks up into the cockpit. Once the plane has started the staircase automatically closes with no animation.
+=== HD Universe ===
+==== Design ====
+The Shamal in GTA IV and GTA V features an updated design, though very close to the GTA San Andreas iteration. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], numerous Shamals can be found at the [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], though they cannot be used by the player. A Shamal is used by [[Kenny Petrovic]] during the [[Hangman's NOOSE]] [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] mission wherein up to four players must hold back [[NOOSE]] units and escort Petrovic from his jet at Francis International Airport to a safepoint. It can be concluded that the jets in question are Shamals, as an identical, controllable model would appear in [[Grand Theft Auto V]].
-== Interior ==
+The Shamal is now a controllable aeroplane in GTA V, available in different liveries ([[Air Emu]], white and blue; [[Air Herler]], white and blue; [[FlyUS]], white, red, and blue; and [[MyFly]], white and red). It retains the good handling and performance of its GTA San Andreas rendition, although it has ceded the fastest civilian jet title to the [[Vestra]] as of the Business Update. Also introduced alongside the Shamal is its private jet cousin, the [[Luxor]].
-In the mission "[[Freefall]]", the plane's interior can be seen. The size of the interior appears larger than usual for an aircraft with a relatively small fuselage, and the interior incongruously features seven sets of windows on each side when the plane features only four outside. The interior's cockpit is also much different than the plane's exterior would suggest, as the windshield is much smaller and is squished towards the ceiling, with several controls and displays below. The interior also does not contain the fold out staircase that is seen in the exterior when the player enters the plane.
+==== Performance ====
+The Shamal retains its easy handling from GTA: San Andreas. It is ideal for crew transport where a Titan is too large. As a jet, it lacks the characteristic nose-down sinking found in the game's propeller planes; it is thus suitable for those learning to fly light jets. Its engines are fairly durable; the player can continue to fly with one damaged engine for a substantial amount of time before having to land.

 == Locations ==
-*[[Los Santos International Airport]], just north of the runway.
+; GTA San Andreas
-*[[Easter Bay International Airport]], west of the Nevada.
+* [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA III Era|Los Santos International Airport]], just north of the runway. Like the [[Dodo]] in the same area, this Shamal is always unlocked regardless of the player's [[Pilot School]] progress, allowing the player access to an aircraft early in the game if they can get in the airport tarmac area via unusual means.

+* Can be purchased for $1,150,000.
+* Parked at a gate near the Flight School gate.
+* Parked outside a hangar next to Franklin's hangar, next to a [[Luxor]] at [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|Los Santos International Airport]].
+* Found landing on runway 3, and taxiing close to the parking lots of the [[Jet]]s at Los Santos International Airport.

+In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], [[Ray Bulgarin]] owns a jet called a [[Ghawar]], similar to the Shamal.
-In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and then [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; however, the player could not fly the plane. The plane has also been depicted in take-off and landing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the player can stand on the plane's wing while it's accelerating to fly away, but will most likely fall after a while, and in GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is seen entering and exiting [[Escobar International Airport]] from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane in GTA Vice City Stories, but it is not controllable.
+== Trivia ==
+* In GTA San Andreas, when in the interior of the Shamal, the player can shoot out the lights and headrests.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], business jets still remain uncontrollable (nor can any other planes be flown) but such vehicles can still be found at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], featuring an updated design. One such plane is used by [[Kenny Petrovic]] during the [[Hangman's NOOSE]] [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] mission wherein up to four players must hold back [[NOOSE]] units and escort Petrovic from his jet at Francis International Airport to a safepoint.
+* Like most other aircraft in GTA San Andreas, the Shamal plays [[K-DST]] by default.
-In the Grand Theft Auto IV DLC [[Ballad of Gay Tony]], [[Ray Bulgarin]] owns a similar looking jet called a [[Ghawar]].
