'''Easter Bay International Airport''' is based on real-life [[wikipedia:San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco International Airport]]. It is located in [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas]], and is the largest airport in the state. It is situated at the southeastern corner of the city, just east of [[Foster Valley]] and a major freeway, and just south of [[Easter Basin]]. From here, the player can purchase flights to and from [[Los Santos International Airport]] and [[Las Venturas Airport]], but no flights actually take off or land without the player instigating it. As befits a busy airport, there are numerous aircraft parked in various locations, and [[Baggage]] carts trundling about. | '''Easter Bay International Airport''' is based on real-life [[wikipedia:San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco International Airport]].

One note: the gates governing these points of entry are only accessible once the player has passed [[Flying School]] and is considered a pilot. Through ingenuity, the player can access the tarmac, but all aircraft are locked until pilot status is achieved, with the exception of the [[Maverick]] in the area near the hangars. | ||
This airport is modeled after San Francisco International Airport, which is located several miles south of the city. The main landing strip of Easter Bay Airport (pictured) extends out into [[Easter Bay]], a distinguishing feature of San Francisco International Airport, whose main tarmac extends into San Francisco Bay. The airport is situated on an artificial island connected to the mainland by a small land bridge that provides the only road access. | This airport is modeled after San Francisco International Airport, which is located several miles south of the city.
