How do I nab a helicopter?

Can someone give me a step by step guide as to how I can get a helicopter, I still haven't seen one!

I've gone looking in the airport for one but always get nabbed by the Gardai before I can find one.

Many thanks.

At the bottom left cornerof the middle island there is a place called Helitour, its also shown in the destination menu in cabs.

Just go there and hop into one of the many choppers

Bottom right corner of the "Manhattan" island surely? Well as your looking at the map anyway.

Yep where the other lads said it is. If you travel to the very bottom of Algonquin and look around you will eventually find the helicopter tours. There are always two or three helicopters sitting there. You'll have to shoot the pilot before stealing it though. Ive never found a helicopter in the airport except while playing MP

Those gardai are a pain all right!

Agreed, 'tis a pure pain sure, as we, the assailants, try to get away in our motorised vehicles, and are pursued by members of the force.

Nope, just press the button to get in and Niko will automatically pull the pilot out and take it.
Just don't hold the button, or you'll get taken for a helitour.

Also, those heli's become gunships in mp

There is a cheat available to spawn a gunship (Annihilator) if you don't mind cheating that is.....

Shooting him is way cooler though!

Is it possible to use the guns on the Annihilator in single player? I stole one from the airport but couldn't figure out how to fire

It=f you have a PS3, it's the square button. You can rob a gunship from the roof of a police station in southern algonquin.

there is a maverick heli parked on the coast of the 3rd island. the coast between the 3rd and 2nd island about a third of the way down, its on a heli pad in the water so you can swim to the ladder and climb up to claim your prize
