GTA 6 Helicopter: Where to Find One and What Rockstar Showed

Rockstar has not said where to find a helicopter in GTA 6, but its own screenshots show them over three regions: the Vice City skyline, the Grassrivers wetlands and Mount Kalaga National Park. The exact helipads and parking spots go on our map on launch day, once we have checked them in the game.

What Rockstar has shown

• Vice City 11, one of Rockstar's screenshots: a helicopter over the city's towers and the bay at sunset.
• Grassrivers 04: a helicopter above police cars and a pickup splashing through the wetlands.
• Mount Kalaga National Park 02: a red and white helicopter flying low over forested hills, the picture at the top of this page.
• An Extended Look: in the getaway for Raul Bautista, Jason shoots at police cars and helicopters from the back seat with four stars on screen, Game Informer reports. Expect police helicopters once the wanted level climbs.

Which helicopters are in GTA 6

Rockstar has not named a single aircraft. IGN has matched these to models from earlier games:

Helicopter	What IGN saw
Buzzard	The attack helicopter, now with a side-mounted gun
Maverick	One painted for a TV news station
Police Maverick	The police version
Sea Sparrow	In both trailers and the screenshots; it can land on water
SuperVolito	A luxury helicopter in the background of both trailers

Planes and seaplanes

IGN also spotted the Dodo seaplane, the Duster biplane, the Mammatus in Rockstar's Leonida Keys art, a Luxor-style jet over the Vice City sign and the Blimp. Two places on our map are where planes are most likely. Highway signs in Trailer 2 point to VCI Airport as a jet comes in low, and Game Informer's cover story describes Mount Kalaga communities built around private jets, with their own landing strips (via Wccftech).

Can you fly them?

Not shown yet. Nobody has seen Jason or Lucia at the controls of a helicopter or a plane, so our rumor check rates flying likely, not confirmed. We will settle it on launch day.

Our take: start at VCI Airport and the Mount Kalaga airstrips once the game is out. Rockstar's own picture of Mount Kalaga is built around private aircraft, and an airport is the obvious place for anything with rotors or wings to park. That is our guess until we have checked it in the game, and the map box above will say so until then.
