Template:Infobox vehicles The Air Ambulance is an emergency helicopter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V. It is manufactured by Buckingham in the HD Universe. As the name implies, it's a medical rescue helicopter, being the aerial equivalent of the Ambulance.
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Air Ambulance is named in-game Police Maverick.
Description
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Like the Armadillo, the Air Ambulance is a relatively large helicopter that nevertheless possesses relatively good speed, with moderately steep pitches that help increase its acceleration at the expense of losing altitude faster. Like most service vehicles in GTA, it lacks a radio. During the creation of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Air Ambulance was going to be made as the Coastguard Maverick, but was cut after the alpha version.
The Air Ambulance can be used to activate the Air Rescue side missions, the airborne equivalent of the Ambulance's Paramedic side mission. Completion of the side mission will boast the player's maximum health.
Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Air Ambulance returns (unofficial name). In fact, it is a variant of the Police Maverick with different paint job and decals, and not a separate vehicle as it was in Vice City Stories. The Air Ambulance has no purpose in the game and can only be found on certain helipads.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- On the helipad behind Ocean View Hospital, Ocean Beach and the roof of Schuman Health Care Center, Downtown, after the mission "From Zero To Hero".
Grand Theft Auto V
- Spawns on two helipads at Central Los Santos Hospital.
- Can be seen flying around the Bolingbroke Penitentiary due to a possible glitch.
- Sometimes spawns on the top of the Vinewood Police Station helipad (can sometimes spawn as a Police Maverick variant as well).
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Sometimes spawns on the helipads at Central Los Santos Hospital.
- Sometimes spawns on top of the Vinewood Police Station (can sometimes spawn as a Police Maverick variant as well).
- Sometimes spawns on top of the Vespucci Police Station (can sometimes spawn as a Police Maverick variant as well).
- Sometimes spawns on top of the Weazel News Building (can sometimes spawn as a Police Maverick variant as well).

Trivia
- Both sides of the Air Ambulance's nose bear cursively written text. Due to the poor quality of its texture, the words are somewhat hard to identify.
- "VCS - 911" is also written on both sides of the helicopter at the turbine engines. 911 is clearly referring to the main emergency number in the United States, and the "VCS" is short for Vice City Stories.
- Unlike Armadillo, the Air Ambulance has the same door sound as the low-grade cars, only with a higher pitch.
- Despite the Air Ambulance appears in GTA V , it still refered as Police Maverick when entered.
- The reason for this is because the game actually considers the Air Ambulance as a Police Maverick with a different paintjob, and Rockstar hasn't made a separate vehicle.
- Due to this, there is a glitch that cause an Air Ambulance to spawn flying around the Bolingbroke Penitentiary instead of a normal Police Maverick.
