Overview

A lightweight amphibious helicopter equipped with twin pontoon landing floats. Can land seamlessly on calm ocean lagoons, swamps, or standard asphalt runways.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Sea Sparrow benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.

GTA 6 GAMEPLAY INFLUENCE

Rapid vertical climb rate outpaces ground pursuit. High altitude enables radar evasion across Leonida airspace.

⚠️
LEONIDA SURVIVAL / EXFIL ADVISORY

Tail rotor damage instantly initiates uncontrolled autorotation flat-spin.

Customization Options

Auxiliary pontoon fuel tanks, forward-facing machine gun mounts, and vintage search-and-rescue paint schemes.

Drivers can take the Sea Sparrow to Rideout Customs in Vice City for extensive tuning packages, or utilize Pay & Spray locations for fast repaints, chase-breaking resprays, and legitimate vehicle re-registration to prevent police despawns.

How to Get It

Spawns at private airstrips in the Keys and floating docks in the Everglades.

Theft & Security Advisory: In GTA 6, car theft utilizes security tiers. High-end modern vehicles require key-cloning tools or the WAINK scanner to disable vehicle immobilizers and police GPS tracking before storage.
