The P-72 "Twin Nokota" is a fighter aircraft added into Grand Theft Auto Online as part of a random update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Twin Nokota takes obvious physical inspiration from the North American F-82 "Twin Mustang" with some style cues from the Focke Wulf Fw 190D-13, which is mainly the engine cones and the twin canopies, while the rudder takes slight inspiration from the P-38 "Lightning." However, the rest of the plane takes obvious inspirations from the P-51H-5NA, which is a post-war variant of the P-51 "Mustang."

It can also be found with many liveries reminiscing to the Korean War, as well as World War II, despite the F-82 "Twin Mustang" never served in World War II.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Twin Nokota is much faster than its single engine counterpart, but this comes at the price of maneuverability. However, the Twin Nokota is capable of outrunning every prop aircraft in a straight line when fully upgraded, and its heaviness can be remedied with handling upgraded to the max. When the landing gears are lowered, the P-72 becomes a lot more maneuverable, and is comparable to the P-45's maneuverability. Not only can the pilot control the weapons, but the first officer can also use the weapons, while the pilot maneuvers the aircraft. With a talented pilot and a good gunner, the plane is capable of defeating a fully upgraded Pyro.
 * Like its real life inspiration, it comes with six wing mounted machine guns, offering good defensive capabilities. The machine guns can fire either default rounds, high explosive rounds, or armor piercing stealth rounds
 * Its optional armament is a gun pod housing either eight standard machine guns, or six autocannons, which amps up the Twin Nokota's fire power, which makes in unstoppable in a head-on engagement.
 * Its other optional armament are two Hydra 70 rocket pods. They can fire in either barrage mode, which fires ten missiles at once, or homing mode, which as no reload time, or simply in unguided mode. These armaments make the P-72 "Twin Nokota" a strong competitor in the dogfighting arena.
