Sparrow
The Sparrow is a helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The Sparrow is based on the Bell Model 47 'Sioux', the military version of which, the H-13, was made famous by its role in M.A.S.H. Despite its old appearance the helicopter handles quite well in GTA Vice City compared to the Maverick, but has taken a slight downturn in GTA San Andreas. It can fit 2 people inside and is great for transporting a body guard in GTA Vice City or a homie in GTA San Andreas. The Helicopter's weak point is its uncovered engine. A few shots is enough to bring this whirley bird out of the air. There is a more practical variant known as the Sea Sparrow which possesses a machine gun and the ability to land on water.
