Hangars 5 Customizable Hangar properties are now available in 2 different locations across San Andreas, including Fort Zancudo and Los Santos International Airport.

patch changes/additions that caught my eye: --Changes to vehicle downforce calculations have been made to make sure vehicle handling behaves in the same way as before the Gunrunning content update. --Flares fired from the Flare Gun now attract nearby homing missiles. --Changes have been made to the amount of explosive hits the Savage Helicopter can withstand. --Fixed an issue that meant players could be run over/hit by the Bunker caddies. --Fixed an issue that caused the mini-map icons to be offset when the map is expanded. --Fixed an issue that caused the Weaponized Tampa’s ammo to not be refilled after taking it into the MOC. --Fixed an issue in various Sell Missions where players were unable to deliver the objective. (4 bikes into back of trucks mission? Paleto Triangle?) --Fixed incorrect payout issues for multiple Businesses. (low-pay bug squashed?) --Changes have been made to the Key Rebinding menu – a new “GTA Online Vehicles” category has been added and some Special Vehicle controls have been split into unique key bindings. --Fixed a transaction error that occurred after completing a Bunker Sell Mission. Broughy says if you buy a Hanger, call up your Pegasus aircraft & put them into the Hanger, they then become "personal aircraft". this makes me think we're going to see attack helis & jets spawn right at any street on the map instead of needing to go get them at the closest airport or helipad. removing one of the unique things that added to the Oppressor's OP-ness, but adding that feature to anyone who owns a Hydra/Buz/Sav/Valk/etc ...no MC or CEO status required.
