'''Easter Bay Airport''' is based on real-life [[ | '''Easter Bay Airport''' is based on real-life [[:wp:San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco International Airport]]. It is located in [[San Fierro]], [[State of San Andreas|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 [[Juank Air]] 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. | ||
There are three main points of ground vehicle entry to the airport - the first is through the underground parking lot which terminates behind the control tower where the helicopters are; the others are through two direct freight ramps in the center of the airport, one leading to the runway, the other to the hangars. 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. | There are three main points of ground vehicle entry to the airport - the first is through the underground parking lot which terminates behind the control tower where the helicopters are; the others are through two direct freight ramps in the center of the airport, one leading to the runway, the other to the hangars.

This airport, as aforementioned, 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, as aforementioned, is modeled after San Francisco International Airport, which is located several miles south of the city.

The airport plays a role in two missions. In the mission [[Mike Toreno (mission)|Mike Toreno]], Carl and [[T-Bone Mendez]] track [[Mike Toreno]] in a [[Burrito|yay van]] in the airport. Carl destroys it, and heads back to the [[Jizzy's Pleasure Domes|pleasure domes]] in [[Battery Point]]. In the mission [[Ran Fa Li (mission)|Ran Fa Li]], Carl picks up a package from a [[Manana]] inside the parking lot of the airport, and has to take it back to a garage in [[Esplanade North]], all while constantly being confronted by the [[Da Nang Boys]], fierce rivals of the [[San Fierro Triads]]. | The airport plays a role in two missions.
