Trivia[]
- All helicopters in Grand Theft Auto IV are manufactured by Western Company, however, this was changed in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- Western, like Mammoth, Jobuilt and Buckingham, has a defense contract with the United States government, as they manufacture the Annihilator for the NOOSE, the Cargobob for the United States Marine Corps and the Besra and Rogue for the United States Air Force.
- The Maverick is once again stated as a Western vehicle in GTA V by Rockstar Games Newswire.[1] Whether this is intentional or a mistake is unclear.
