Are helicopters/planes worth it?

I got a refund from R* support for the update erasing my Roosevelt (I wish I got a replacement but whatever), and I have enough money to buy a plane/helicopter now. Is it worth owning one? If so which ones are best? I'm guessing a helicopter would be better than a plane but I honestly don't know

Definitely get a buzzard. There's so many missions that it makes easier and faster, it's one of the best purchases I've made

As helicopters go, the Buzzard is the one to get. Worth every penny I spent on it. You can find them for free but it's nice to be able to call it up whenever you want.

Yeah buzzard but it's still a steep price and if you tend to grind 1 or 2 missions then it's a wasted purchase.

 

Honestly I don't think any aircraft justifies it's price in this game, they need to remove them in free roam unless you purchased them, having a luxury jet spawn for everyone is ridiculous especially for those that own it(the Luxor).

yeah I bought the new jet, and already regret buying it. when I reach the rank required to buy the buzzard on my second character I might do it for rr. dammit R* why couldn't they just give me back my Roosevelt...

yeah you just have to pay $200 each time, personally I love the planes especially the velum, cuban and the duster but nothing is worth the price.

 

If I were you I'd save it for the next dlc cars.

EDIT: Didn't notice you already bought the Vestra. Whyyy did you do that??? :)

 

The Buzzard is probably the most usable aerial vehicle.

I almost bought the Vestra but glad I didn't. I finally got to fly one when I joined a race and wasn't impressed at all. Maybe if it had a cockpit or rudimentary gauges it would be fun.

For those of you with a Cargobob try "Bust out" with it. Its pretty easy to pick up the bus when it comes out of the tunnel, take up in the mountains and drop it on its side. Pick up Lamar and go

The buzzard is awesome and brings a whole new dimension to missions. Bought mine with gifted money though, so didn't really make a cost-benefit analysis prior to my purchase.

I like the Vestra really much. It's a fun plan and easy to fly. I think it's a bit slower than the Luxor but the big advantage is definitely that it can take off really fast. If you got the cops behind ya you can jump in the Vestra and are really fast in the ear while both engines are running. With the Luxor sometimes your enemies can blow up your engines cuz it takes so much longer until you're in the ear.

Buy a buzzard

Everything else spawns the buzzard is te only useful one in missions

That's right. But there's one think I really hate about the Pegasus air vehicles. Every one can get in it and steal it. That shouldn't be possible....
