You may be looking for Surface-to-Air Missile, otherwise often abbreviated as S.A.M. or SAM.

S.A.M. is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III, given to protagonist Claude by Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen from a Panlantic Construction Company construction site in Fort Staunton, Staunton Island, Liberty City.

Mission

Claude drops by the construction site in Fort Staunton. Asuka, (along with Maria) is now aware of a plane crossing the Francis International Airport in south Shoreside Vale and it contains a big number of SPANK drug packages. Claude drives over to a jetty in Bedford Point. He picks up a rocket launcher on the jetty and takes the Reefer nearby to drive over to the south end of the airport, near the two buoys. He kills all the Colombian Cartel gang members guarding the exit of the airport. After a while, the Dodo plane arrives and Claude shoots it down with his rocket launcher.

After blowing up the Dodo plane, a 4-star wanted level is present and Claude retrieves the packages quickly before a police helicopter arrives and stops him. Right after that, he escapes back to the construction site while being pursued by a fleet of relentless cops.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Find the marker boat and get to the marker buoy
  • Get to the runway marker buoys! The plane is on it's final approach
  • Collect the cargo
  • Stash the SPANK back at the construction site

Script

(Miguel, Maria, Asuka and Claude at the construction site.)

Maria Latore: Do we tighten it some more now, or wait for it to go black and fall off?

Asuka Kasen: Give it a quick prod...

Maria Latore: Eeeeeyoooo! What is the gooey yellow stuff? Oh hi Babe.

Asuka Kasen: My Handyman!

Maria Latore: I was bored so I came over to keep Asuka company.

Asuka Kasen: She has got the makings of a natural this girl. She's managed to extract this little gem from our guest. There is a plane coming into Francis International Airport in two hours time. It is full of Catalina's poison. You can avoid airport security by getting a boat out to the runway-light buoys and shooting the plane down on its approach. Collect the cargo from the debris and stash it!

Maria Latore: Oh you be careful now, OK baby?

Asuka Kasen: Now try the chili oil.

Reward

The reward for this mission is $45,000. The mission Ransom, is unlocked.

Trivia

  • The plane that is used in the mission is actually the unobtainable, full-winged DeadDodo aircraft seen flying over Liberty City. However, once Claude destroys the plane, it mysteriously turns into a regular Dodo. The plane then somehow becomes undamaged and then explodes again.
