{{Infobox vehicle
The Sparrow is the oldest helicopter on [[Vice City]] and [[San Andreas]]. It is somtimes called the "bubble chopper" by GTA fans and more recently just the "bubble". Despite its old appearance the helicopter handles quite well on Vice City compared to the [[Maverick]] and has taken a slight downturn on San Andreas. It can fit 2 people inside and its great for transporting a body guard from Vice City or a homie from San Andreas. The Helicopter's weak point is its uncovered engine. A few shots is enough to bring this whirly out of the air. It has a better "brother" known as the [[Sea Sparrow]] that can shoot and land on the water.
