==Description==
[[File:Airfield_map.png|thumb|300px|Airfield as seen on the map]]The airfield consists of three runways: two large parallel runways that run east to west and a smaller runway that runs northeast to southwest. The runways are large enough to easily land any in-game plane (with the exception of the [[Cargo Plane]], which can be landed here but with much difficulty). The airfield also contains a hangar large enough for one plane that is equal to or smaller in size than a [[Shamal]]. Additional structures include a helipad, a small control tower, and a [[Globe Oil]] gas station called ''Flywheels'' which is not interactive.

When playing as [[Trevor Philips|Trevor]], airplanes and helicopters purchased from the [[ElitasTravel.com|Elitas Travel website]], helicopters and [[Rhino]]s ordered from the [[Warstock Cache & Carry]] website, or aircraft that the player has landed will be stored in the hangar or helipad.

==Events of ''GTA Online''==
 
In [[GTA Online]], the Sandy Shores Airfield does not appear to be controlled by any faction for one time. This could explain why various missions take place at the airfield, even though those missions are given by many different people. The airfield is used to deploy aircraft for the [[GTA Online Protagonist]] along with being used to store stolen aircraft from enemies. In Free Roam, there will be a plane and a helicopter spawned at the airfield. Occasionally, there will be a [[Gang Attack]] on the airfield. The factions that are seen at the airfield are usually [[The Professionals]] or [[Merryweather Security]].
The Sandy Shores Airfield was run by [[The Lost MC]] at the beginning of the game. However, [[Trevor Philips]] and [[Ron Jakowski]] both infiltrate the airstrip quietly during the night. Trevor manages to snipe several guards, before deciding to attack the airstrip loud and clear. The two men manage to steal two [[Cuban 800]]s, all the while blowing up several structures and gunning down many Lost bikers. At this point, the Sandy Shores Airfield is now property of [[Trevor Philips Enterprises]]. Unlike other properties, Trevor acquires the airfield at no cost; it does, however, disqualify him from purchasing a hangar at [[Los Santos International Airport]].
 
   
  +
The Airfield is used during the Heist, [[The Prison Break]], where the player must destroy a [[Prison Bus]]. It also appears during [[Humane Raid - EMP]], where the player must land the Hydra and park it in the hangar, where the EMP is removed.
As the story progresses, the airstrip is used many times. For [[The Merryweather Heist]], if the offshore method is chosen, Trevor uses a [[Cargobob]] to deliver a [[Submersible]] to the [[Pacific Ocean]]. The submarine is then brought back to the airfield, where it is discovered that they stole a super weapon. During a raid on the [[Humane Labs and Research]], the crew uses a [[Cargobob]] to extract [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] and [[Dave Norton|Dave]] out of the area. The Cargobob lands safely at the airfield.

The Sandy Shores Airfield is a regional airport located on Panorama Drive, southwest of Sandy ShoresBlaine County, featured in Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

Airfield map

Airfield as seen on the map

The airfield consists of three runways: two large parallel runways that run east to west and a smaller runway that runs northeast to southwest. The runways are large enough to easily land any in-game plane (with the exception of the Cargo Plane, which can be landed here but with much difficulty). The airfield also contains a hangar large enough for one plane that is equal to or smaller in size than a Shamal. Additional structures include a helipad, a small control tower, and a Globe Oil gas station called Flywheels which is not interactive. Despite bearing the name of Sandy Shores, the airfield is located closer to the town of Harmony

At the start of GTA V, the airfield is run by the Lost MC. However, it is soon taken over by Trevor Philips in the mission Nervous Ron. When playing as Trevor, airplanes and helicopters purchased from the Elitas Travel website, helicopters and Rhinos ordered from the Warstock Cache & Carry website, or aircraft that the player has landed will be stored in the hangar or helipad.

For owners of the Special and Collectors Edition, the Stunt Plane Time Trials can be found at this airfield. The player can trigger them by entering the Mallard in front of the smaller hangar.

Events of GTA Online

In GTA Online, the Sandy Shores Airfield does not appear to be controlled by any faction for one time. This could explain why various missions take place at the airfield, even though those missions are given by many different people. The airfield is used to deploy aircraft for the GTA Online Protagonist along with being used to store stolen aircraft from enemies. In Free Roam, there will be a plane and a helicopter spawned at the airfield. Occasionally, there will be a Gang Attack on the airfield. The factions that are seen at the airfield are usually The Professionals or Merryweather Security.

The Airfield is used during the Heist, The Prison Break, where the player must destroy a Prison Bus. It also appears during Humane Raid - EMP, where the player must land the Hydra and park it in the hangar, where the EMP is removed.

Events of GTA V

The Sandy Shores Airfield was run by The Lost MC at the beginning of the game. However, Trevor Philips and Ron Jakowski both infiltrate the airstrip quietly during the night. Trevor manages to snipe several guards, before deciding to attack the airstrip loud and clear. The two men manage to steal two Cuban 800s, all the while blowing up several structures and gunning down many The Lost bikers. At this point, the Sandy Shores Airfield is now property of Trevor Philips Enterprises. Unlike other properties, Trevor acquires the airfield at no cost; it does, however, disqualify him from purchasing a hangar at Los Santos International Airport.

As the story progresses, the airstrip is used many times. For The Merryweather Heist, if the offshore method is chosen, Trevor uses a Cargobob to deliver a Submersible to the Pacific Ocean. The submarine is then brought back to the airfield, where it is discovered that they stole a super weapon. During a raid on the Humane Labs and Research, the crew uses a Cargobob to extract Michael and Dave out of the area. The Cargobob lands safely at the airfield.
