When it comes to flying in GTA Online, lots of players stick to the popular Oppressor Mk II or the P-996 LAZER jet without looking at other choices. But there are some solid propeller planes that can be just as handy. In this article, we'll highlight the best propeller planes to buy in 2025.
1. Howard NX-25
The Buckingham Howard NX-25 is a fixed-wing aircraft released as part of the Smuggler's Run update for Grand Theft Auto Online. It is a stunt plane and the only non-weaponized vehicle on this list. Because of this, the Howard is strictly a "fun investment" for role-players or plane enthusiasts.
The Howard has strong acceleration - its speed when taking off is excellent, making it one of the five fastest aircraft in GTA Online. For defensive countermeasures, you can count on its responsive handling and Chaff/Flare/Smoke.
2. Seabreeze
The Western Seabreeze is a seaplane in GTA Online. It was added as part of the Smuggler's Run update. The Seabreeze's strongest point is probably its speed and maneuverability. It can even keep up with fast propeller aircraft like the Howard NX-25 or the Mallard in cruising speed.
Weapon-wise, the Seabreeze has two machine guns and bombs. Its defense is lacking - you need to dodge enemies' attacks.
3. Mammoth Tula
The Mammoth Tula is an amphibious seaplane that was introduced in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update. It is definitely worth the high cost. First, the Tula is very versatile - it can land and take off on both land and water.
Weapon-wise, the Tula comes equipped with a high damage stock machine gun that can shred unarmored vehicles easily. It can also drop 4 types of bombs.
4. Rogue
The Western Company Rogue is a trainer attack plane featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update. It has an impressive array of weaponry that can be operated by the pilot or copilot.
The best part of the Rogue is probably its capability to install bombs, providing heavy firepower against ground targets. There are four different Bomb choices: Explosive, Incendiary, Gas and Cluster.
Besides that, both its machine guns and explosive cannons are powerful, but people tend to pick the machine guns, as they are ideal for air-to-air engagements. The Rogue's missiles cannot be fired continuously, similar to the LAZER.
5. P-45 Nokota
The Mammoth P-45 Nokota is a fighter aircraft featured in GTA Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update. It's inspired by classic WWII-era planes like the North American P-51 Mustang.
It's fast for a propeller plane and handles well, making it solid for dogfights. It can withstand a couple of homing missiles.
Weapons include six machine guns and optional homing missiles.
6. Mammoth Mogul
The Mammoth Mogul is a medium-sized aircraft in GTA Online, added in the Smuggler's Run update. It's based on planes like the Beechcraft Model 18.
It has average speed but features JATO thrusters for fast takeoffs. Handling is decent, and it can fly on one engine if needed.
Weapons consist of front machine guns, a turret gun, optional bombs, and countermeasures like Chaff or Flare.
7. Mallard
The Western Company Mallard is a fixed-wing aerobatic stunt plane in GTA Online. It's inspired by real-life stunt planes like the Zivko Edge 540.
It offers excellent acceleration and top speed, with high maneuverability perfect for stunts and challenges. It has no weapons.
