Player notes

Trevor returns to his trailer in Sandy Shores to find Ron Jakowski waiting amid the damage left by The Lost MC. Ron explains that the gang tore the place apart in retaliation for Johnny Klebitz's death, including Trevor's Impotent Rage statue. Trevor then presses Wade Hebert about his search for Michael Townley. Wade has found nothing, and Trevor sends him away to keep looking.

Outside, Trevor tells Ron that The Lost are expecting weapons aircraft at Sandy Shores Airfield and that he intends to take the shipment. The two ride Blazers in separate directions. Trevor visits Ammu-Nation on Algonquin Boulevard, where he obtains a Sniper Rifle with an advanced scope and suppressor, then rides north to Ron's position near the airfield. He climbs a water tower overlooking the runway, and they wait for nightfall.

Ron enters the airfield on foot while Trevor watches through the rifle scope. Trevor eliminates Lost bikers and lights that could expose Ron's approach, allowing Ron to plant an explosive on a fuel tank. A hostile helicopter arrives overhead, and Trevor shoots its pilot. The helicopter crashes, alerting The Lost. Trevor descends from the tower and fights through the airfield toward the hangar as Ron readies a Cuban 800 loaded with weapons.

Ron taxis his Cuban 800 down the runway with Trevor lying on its wing, firing on the pursuing bikers and detonating the fuel tank behind them. Trevor then takes a second Cuban 800 and follows Ron out over the ocean, flying low past the military base. They release the cargo to boats below, then race back across Blaine County. Trevor lands at McKenzie Field Hangar, where Ron joins him after the run.

Trivia

  • โ—†The animation that is used when Trevor is shooting on the airplane's wing is the same used in Max Payne 3, another Rockstar game, when Max shoots prone on the ground.
  • โ—†The gold medal objective "6 Bridges, 1 Plane" is a reference to a viral adult video called "Two Girls, 1 Cup".
  • โ—†The Impotent Rage statue that was broken by The Lost is possibly the same one that Trevor managed to keep from Series A Funding in GTA Online after his failed drug deal ended with him being forced to escape without most of his drugs.
  • โ—†The mission was originally going to be called "Nervous Jerry" at some point during development as that was Ron Jakowski's original beta name.
  • โ—†Trevor's Blazer features a custom license plate reading "TPI1000" (Trevor Philips Industries 1000). Ron's Blazer also features a unique plate, reading "B3LI3V3" ("Believe").
  • โ—†Although the game tells the player to take the ATV at the beginning of the mission, there are no consequences for not taking it. Trevor will still be able to buy the Sniper Rifle and meet with Ron at the water tower if it isn't taken and after the short cutscene of the time changing, the game will spawn Trevor's ATV next to the water tower as if it was taken all along.
  • โ—†When Trevor climbs onto the wing of Ron's plane, he will automatically switch to an Assault Rifle, even if the player doesn't have one in their inventory. When Trevor rides it, he won't need to reload the assault rifle, and it will have unlimited ammo.
  • โ—†If first-person view in the enhanced version is activated when Trevor climbs onto the wing of Ron's plane, the player will automatically be shifted into third-person view until Trevor takes command of his red plane.
  • โ—†The Bleeter posts mention that the shootout occurred at McKenzie Field in Grapeseed, despite it actually occurring at Sandy Shores Airfield.
  • โ—†If the mission is replayed, Trevor will need to repurchase the Sniper Rifle, suppressor, and advanced scope, though they will still be free.
  • โ—†If the mission is replayed and the Heavy Sniper is equipped while Trevor is on the water tower, a message on the top left of the screen will instruct the player to switch back to the regular Sniper Rifle.
  • โ—†In Trevor's character trailer, the mission takes place during a storm. This change is most likely due to increased turbulence while flying in a storm.
  • โ—†Unique dialogue can be heard if Trevor takes out the control tower guards and lights before Ron notices, in which Trevor will tell Ron "not to worry".
  • โ—†Shortly before the buyers receive the cargo, Ron warns Trevor not to fly too high in order to avoid Fort Zancudo detecting them. However, the player may fly as high as they wish and nothing will happen. They may even enter the base and seemingly be ignored.
  • โ—†After the mission, both planes will remain accessible and Trevor can take whichever one he likes back to the airfield, being able to keep only one however.
  • โ—†After the mission, the damage done to the trailer will remain until Minor Turbulence, and the ability to drink beer there will be unavailable until then.
