San Andreas Flight School Update

The San Andreas Flight School Update is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online released on August 19th, 2014, as part of the 1.16 patch. August 19 was actually National Aviation Day, which is why the update was released.

Description
The update features two new aircraft, the Besra, and the Miljet, new renditions of both the Swift and the Coquette, many new air force-themed clothes, as well as parachutes bearing the flags of several countries.

New VS Missions

 * Acquire Target: is a kill-the-carrier style mode where opponents fight in P996 Lazers to control one flag; maintain control for as long as you can to rack up points.
