If you have a car in your garage already, get in it or find a person driving a car on the road and hijack it, then go down to the Los Santos Airport.

You'll get a 6 star wanted level if you haven't unlocked San Fierro yet, so that makes the quest even harder. If you have unlocked all cities, then you're all set.

Question

How do I get a locked plane?

Community Answer

For the helicopter, use a tow truck and take it to the airstrip by using the teleport to marker mod or by just driving. If you use cheat menu mode, it is possible to unlock the plane or helicopter by pressing CTRL+C, Vehicle Cheats, and Unlock Nearest Vehicle. Also, you can't unlock a plane on a mission.

Question

How do I unlock other planes in San Fiero?

Unlock the "Flight School" and pass the missions. You unlock this in the mission "Verdant Meadows". You'll need $80,000 to buy the Airstrip. Pro tip: if you don't have the money, go to the "poor" side of Los Santos and crash the people that have their hands crossed. They are drug dealers and will give you $2,000 each.

Once you get to the airport, don't shoot the security officer at the small building in front of the gate, that will get you a wanted level.

Make sure you have unlocked San Fierro before going to the SFA, the San Fierro Airport. If you haven't unlocked San Fierro, you will get a 6 star wanted level.
