The Shamal is a multi-role, jet powered business airplane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
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 plane's interior can be seen during the mission Freefall; incongruously, this shows seven sets of windows, despite there being only four on the Shamal model. The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and it's easy to land on runways.
The plane draws its influence from both the Learjet 35 (fuselage) and Gulfstream IV (wings), with a cockpit reminiscent 0f the Beechjet 400A.
Locations
The Shamal can be found at Los Santos International Airport, Easter Bay International Airport and Las Venturas Airport. It is always seen unmarked.
Similar aircraft
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; for 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.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, business jets are no longer controllable (nor can any other planes be flown), but can be found at Francis International Airport, and features an updated design. The plane is also used by Kenny Petrovic during the Hangman's NOOSE multiplayer mission to enter the United States via Francis International, from which up to four players must hold back NOOSE units and escort Petrovic to the safepoint.
