Buckingham Maverick
Based On: Bell 206 LongRanger light helicopter
Air traversal across a map this large is a given, and community databases flag the Buckingham Maverick — GTA's workhorse light civilian helicopter, modeled on the Bell 206 LongRanger — among the aircraft expected for GTA 6. The Maverick has been the series' default chopper since GTA III's spiritual successors, so its return tracks.
We hold it at rumored: it suits the setting and the catalog, but we have not matched it to a specific, unambiguous trailer shot.
Estimated performance profile: ~140 mph cruise, nimble and forgiving — the easy-to-fly rotorcraft that doubles as taxi, scout, and getaway above Vice City's skyline and the Keys.
Role in Leonida's lineup: the entry point to vertical traversal and a likely basis for news, police, and air-ambulance variants. For a map stretching from dense city to remote wetland, a reliable light helicopter is the connective tissue.
Customization (speculative): livery and light options possible; aircraft historically receive limited modification. Unconfirmed by Rockstar.
Status: rumored. We will upgrade this entry on an official vehicle list or a confirmed sighting. Full verified stats land within 12 hours of GTA 6's November 19, 2026 launch.
