Sparrow
The Sparrow is a helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and possibly, in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Description
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Despite its outdated appearance, the helicopter handles quite well in GTA Vice City compared to the Maverick, but has taken a slight downturn in GTA San Andreas.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.
The Sparrow-like helicopter appears in the trailer of the upcoming DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony. The helicopter is grey and has two guns similar to the Hunter.
A more practical variant, known as the Sea Sparrow, possesses a machine gun and the ability to land on water.
Trivia
- The tail rotor of the GTA San Andreas Sparrow is dislocated, placed a considerable distance further back from the tail fin.
