The Buckingham Miljet is a military passenger jet featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The San Andreas Flight School Update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The plane is modelled after the Bombardier Challenger 800, with slightly longer and more rounded cockpit glass. The U.S. Air force livery may suggest similarities to the Northrop Grumman E-11A, a military version based on the Bombardier Challenger family.
The Miljet is essentially a large passenger jet, with similarities to the Shamal and the Luxor, intended for military use, as implied by its name (Military Jet), the military markings, and the description on Elitás Travel. The front section and the wings of the aircraft are nearly the same as the Ghawar's (possibly due to the fact that the Ghawar is also partially modeled after the Bombardier Challenger). The Miljet has two windows on each side that are marked with black outlines, indicating the cut-out zone in the event of an emergency (8th and 9th, from front to rear). Also, unlike the aforementioned planes, the Miljet has dual taxi lamps on the wing roots instead of on the main gear struts, which are activated as high-beam lamps. In the enhanced version, the instrument panel on the interior shares the same "Lazer" dial set and arrangement as the Shamal and the Luxor.
The Miljet is only available in a white primary color for the entirety of the vehicle and a black secondary color on the underside, together with the "U.S. Air Force" stencils on the fuselage, the star emblem on the engine covers, and additional military markings on the vertical stabilizer. It uses the same wheel design as the aforementioned planes, being industrial wheels seen in trucks such as the Benson, Mule and Phantom.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Miljet's performance can be described as average. As expected from an aircraft of its size and weight, it takes a while for it to reach top speed. However, its two jet turbines are capable of powering it up to excellent top speeds, comparable to the Shamal. Due to its heavy weight and long wingspan, some maneuverability is sacrificed, and acceleration leaves much to be desired. The plane's durability is excellent, as it can withstand heavy amounts of gunfire before the engines fail.
In general, it works just like one would expect a bigger Shamal to: Less acceleration, a lot heavier to handle and with increased resistance. This makes it a slightly inferior aircraft in terms of performance, but that can be compensated by the large passenger capacity, making it a fairly good transport in Grand Theft Auto Online.
The Miljet is powered by two turbofan engines, which produce a rather loud sound that is very similar to the Jet, but is quieter and partially mixed with the one used in their equivalents. By going down at full speed, the engines clearly become identical to the Jet's engine sound.
