About this vehicle

The Western Company Duster is a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane built for crop dusting. Its airframe carries pesticide-spraying equipment beneath the wings, and it appears only in a weathered, rusty condition. Most of the body and wings use its primary paint colour, while the nose, sides and the large wing struts take the secondary colour. A V-shaped marking across the upper wing remains fixed when the aircraft is repainted.

In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, Elitás Travel sells the Duster for $275,000. In San Andreas, it can be seen over Grapeseed, and may land at McKenzie Field Hangar or Sandy Shores Airfield. After all Flight School lessons are completed, a usually red Duster can appear at the western end of Marina Drive in the Grand Senora Desert, near the Alamo Sea. In the enhanced version of GTA Online, it is stored in a Hangar as a Small aircraft.

The Duster is the slowest fixed-wing aircraft in the game, though it responds well in the air. It needs a long runway and takes time to get airborne. Its pesticide spray does not injure people or draw police attention. Trevor uses a yellow Duster to pursue Merryweather's Cargo Plane in "Minor Turbulence" before crashing into its cargo hold. In "Fooligan Job: Crop Dustin'", a Duster stolen from the Rednecks sprays marked weed farms, while another is used for an air drop during an Acid Product steal mission.

Trivia

  • ◆Being a 1930s biplane, the Duster is one of the oldest aircraft in the series, tied with the Nevada.
  • ◆When Michael, Trevor or Franklin fly the Duster, they will wear antique flying goggles and a leather hat.
  • ◆The Heists update for GTA Online allows the players to purchase the same hat and goggles for their online protagonist from any clothing shop.
  • ◆In the first trailer, the Duster can be seen spraying pesticides, similar to the Cropduster in GTA San Andreas. Despite this, it is only possible in GTA Online.
  • ◆Like the Cropduster in GTA San Andreas, pesticides are ejected from the rear instead of from the wings.
  • ◆The Duster is referred to as a "Cropduster" by Trevor in the mission Minor Turbulence.
  • ◆Sometimes, when playing Minor Turbulence, Trevor may answer the Merryweather that his Duster was manufactured in 1989, yet the Elitás Travel page describes it as a plane produced in the 1930s and 40s. This is most likely an oversight, as the plane it is based on, the Stearman PT-17, was manufactured in the 30s-40s.
  • ◆There is wreckage of a Duster in the ocean a few miles south of Paleto Bay. There is a submarine part near it for the Death at Sea side mission.
