Sparrow

The Sparrow is the oldest helicopter on GTA Vice City, San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories. It is somtimes called the "bubble chopper" by GTA fans and more recently just the "bubble". Based on the Bell Model 47 'Sioux', the military version of which, the H-13, was made famous by its role in M.A.S.H. Despite its old appearance the helicopter handles quite well in GTA Vice City compared to the Maverick and has taken a slight downturn in GTA San Andreas. It can fit 2 people inside and its great for transporting a body guard in GTA Vice City or a homie in GTA San Andreas. The Helicopter's weak point is its uncovered engine. A few shots is enough to bring this whirly out of the air. There is a similar, better, helicopter known as the Sea Sparrow that can shoot and land on the water. In GTA San Andreas one can be found parked on Madd Dogg's mansion.
