AppearanceEdit

It's a large plane with 6 engines. The engines look identical to the ones on the Alexander AX-14.

It's painted the same way as any normal San Esperito Military plane and it's decorated with the government symbols that can be seen on all army and air-force vehicles.

It's a fairly bulky aircraft due to the design of the cargo bay, which is shaped very similarly to the Alexander AX-14.

PurposeEdit

It serves as Salvador Mendoza's "Air Force One". The largest and most rear room in the plane is a windowless cargo compartment and has a bunch of wooden boxes in it. The next room is empty and has a side door. This is where Rico meets Salvador. No other rooms can be seen in the game.

PerformanceEdit

Not much is known about it. It is known that a Rage Johnston F6 Comet can catch up to it pretty effortlessly. It's about as fast as the Alexander AX-14, but it's turning circle is a lot larger, seeing as it's bigger in every way.

LocationEdit

This is the only aircraft that appears only once. It's seen taking off from the central runway of the Mendoza International Airport during the last mission Taking Out The Garbage Vol 3. After taking off, it flies south-west.

Other factsEdit

• The inside of the plane isn't really on the inside of the plane. The aircraft interior is located high in the sky and can't normally be seen. This has been discovered thanks to a rare glitch that lets Rico fall through the floor of that interior at the moment when he spawns there. There's no known fix for the glitch, but it's very rare, so if you do the mission again, you probably won't see it again.
• It's not based on any real plane. It's just a big plane.
• The name is revealed only once, during the mission where it appears. Rico is briefed that Mendoza is trying to escape on his plane and the aircrafts name appears on screen as the next mission objective: "Board the Excelsior plane".
• The concept of a 6 engine plane is nothing unusual. Some planes in the 1930's had as many as 12 engines (before engines became more powerful).

Unconfirmed RumorsEdit

If someone finds evidence or official comments from the game developers about these, then move them into the "other facts" above and state your source.

• It might be called "Excelsior". Confirmed and article renamed.
• The game developers might have originally wanted to include it in the game, like a normal plane, but it was somehow glitchy.
• It is possible to fly the plane, this is done in the mission by getting to the airport before the plane spawns.
