Jet

Sobre este vehículo

• ◆Multiple 747-based planes are found in GTA IV s Francis International Airport bearing FlyUS liveries, but none of them are controllable. They can be seen taxiing, parked in the terminals and flying around Liberty City, including directly over the airport, but are never seen taking off or landing. Unlike the GTA V rendition, the GTA IV planes are based on the older 747-300 model, while in GTA V, the planes are based on the more modern 747-400 model.
• ◆The windows on the plane light up at night. They turn off a few seconds after a pilot exits, as the engines spool down.
• ◆The Jet cannot be stored in any hangar. This is, however, not necessary, given that they are commonly found around the airport grounds, where Michael's and Franklin's hangars are located.
• ◆The Jet, along with the Cargo Plane and the Freight Train, are not listed in the BradyGames guide, strengthening the theory that the Jet might have been added very late in the game's development.
• ◆If a moving vehicle gets in the way of an AI-controlled Jet on the ground, it will stop taking off or taxiing, if it survives without exploding on impact (which is quite rare, depending on the size of the vehicle used). If the Jet is hit while moving at high speed, it sometimes takes off, but then rolls and falls into the ocean at the end of the runway, or slams into the grass at the edge of the runway instead, exploding violently.
• ◆Oddly enough, the Jet does not have a door in the cockpit. However, what looks almost like a 'stitch' line in fabric is present in the outline shape of a door.
• ◆Two dismantled Jets, bearing older FlyUS and Air Herler liveries, can be found wrecked in the Thomson Scrapyard. A small part of both planes' fuselages can be entered, yet there is not much to do inside, since it is completely empty, not even having passenger seats.
• ◆A small section of the fuselage of a Jet can be found at the Los Santos International Airport, propped up on some stands. Much like in real airports, it is a firefighter training aircraft, therefore having a blackened and burnt fuselage. It has no visible livery. It is not utilized in normal gameplay, however it can be seen on fire during Legal Trouble, with nearby firefighters in training extinguishing it.
• ◆The engines of the Jets seen in the mission Legal Trouble blow the Police Cruisers chasing Molly Schultz backwards so hard that they explode upon landing, but this cannot happen to the player. This is done simply to make the chase sequence harder, as the Cruisers are scripted to be faster than Michael's car.
• ◆A crashed Jet bearing the older FlyUS livery (the same livery as the Jet in the scrapyard) can be found at the bottom of the ocean] near the Paleto Bay shore. It does not have many accumulated coral parts around it, which suggests the crash might have been recent and therefore not long before the game's events. It does not play any role in the main storyline, but three submarine parts for the Death at Sea side mission can be found in there.
• ◆Another sunken Jet can also be found east of the Port of Los Santos and south of the Murrieta Oil Field. It is, unlike the previous one, filled with corals around the fuselage, does not have any recognizable liveries and has a few acquirable weapons surrounding it, hinting to a possible hijacking or smuggling operation. This theory is also reinforced by the fact that the cockpit window is full of bullet holes. Like the FlyUS sunken one, it also does not play any role in the main storyline, and three submarine parts for the Death at Sea side mission can also be found in there.
