Well, you’re at the right place; in a simple & quick read, you will have all the knowledge and access to all helicopter locations GTA 5 has to offer. Before we explore all the answers for where to find a helicopter in GTA 5, let us first discuss why we need those helicopters in the first place!
Why you need helicopters in GTA 5
As you would know, the Los Santos map of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) is enormous, and traveling to different locations can be a hassle. In this case, cars & bikes are not your best friend, you will need helicopters as the fastest mode of transport. Although helicopters are not for everyone in this game because they are costly, a few free helicopters lie around different locations. Airplanes in GTA 5 are also not a suitable option because they’re scarce to find, and secondly, it’s not the easiest of jobs to take off and land anywhere.
Different players use the helicopters for different purposes; some use them for exploring the whole map from an aerial view, some do it to learn their skill of take-off and landing, and some use them for completing missions as a few of these helicopters are weaponized and can kill enemies if used correctly. Learning how to control a helicopter is a difficult task, but it’s an integral part of getting a complete game experience.
A very important note

Here’s a one-word answer: BUZZARD
Here’s an explanation:
The buzzard is a high-speed helicopter that will help you get around the Los Santos map at cruising speed. It is also the easiest helicopter to use, especially for someone who does not have the most comfortable time driving a helicopter. Buzzard’s specifications of being small build and filled with missiles and miniguns make them better than any other helicopter out there. When it comes to completing missions, make Buzzard your best friend!
