Template:Infobox vehicles The Cargo Plane is a fixed-wing aircraft featured in Grand Theft Auto V. It might be the largest vehicle both in the game and in the entire series, if not out-sized by the Jet.
Description
The Cargo Plane seems to be a hybrid between a Antonov An-124 with the engines of a Boeing B52 Stratofortress. In the second trailer, a Mesa Grande is seen being driven off the ramp of a cargo plane mid-flight, possibly the same one as seen in the screenshots. In the mission "Minor Turbulence", Trevor hijacks one from a group of Merryweather mercenaries to steal the weapons shipment they were delivering. It is however shot down by the US military when Trevor refuses to land at Fort Zancudo. The plane then crashes into the Alamo Sea, but Trevor manages to parachute out beforehand. The crashed remains of the aircraft can be found afterwards at the western end of the Alamo Sea, full of weapons that respawn periodically. The plane is damaged as soon as the player takes control of it, with debris flying out of the cargo bay ramp and panels missing and damage around the ramp from Trevor's dramatic entry. More debris is seen after the two P-996 Lazer fighter planes deploy their sidewinders. Note that it is impossible to evade the two missiles which will always hit the wing and one of the engine pods.
The Cargo Plane is also seen in the Strangers and Freaks mission Liquidity Risk, in which Franklin must ride an ATV into it with Dom and then ride out once in the air.
Performance
Due to its heavy weight and enormous size, the Cargo Plane is considerably slow, and its handling is poor. However, it's the most stable plane.
Appearances

Trivia
- The Cargo Plane cannot be obtained after the mission "Minor Turbulence".
- When fighting inside the Cargo Plane in the mission its interesting to note the plane stops moving around the map it appears like a building would. This might be due to the fact its scripted to fly into the river at the end.
