Plane Locations in San Andreas

By far the fastest way to move around the extensive map in GTA is to use aeroplanes. The fastest being the hydra by far, probably followed by the enormous AT-400 and the Shamal.

• Available on top of Sweets house in Ganton when you have 100% completion

AT-400

A massive commercial airliner. Difficult to get out of hanger and to fly. 

• Found inside a hanger at the airport in Las Ventura. It's at the south side and you have to stand in front of the hanger door and wait for it to open. It does not always appear so drive off and try again if it's not there.
