Everything to know about the Minor Turbulence mission in GTA 5: Overview, objectives, and more

Minor Turbulence is one of the most interesting missions in GTA 5 because of the plot and the many tense moments. Franklin arrives at Michael’s residence and finds it empty, so he immediately calls him up. He then discovers that both Michael and Trevor are hiding in Sandy Shores after having kidnapped Patricia, Martin Madrazo’s wife.

Trevor talks to Ron about his company, Trevor Philips Enterprises, and finds an event involving a large cache of weapons and Merryweather Security. Along with Ron, he finds an opportunity to grow the business and drives straight to McKenzie Airfield in Grapeseed. Once there, he takes a Duster plane and flies it to the Merryweather cargo plane near Fort Zancudo.

After the cargo plane pilot notices Trevor, he orders the crew to alter their direction several times before finally engaging with the other plane. The Merryweather agents open up the cargo bay and begin shooting at Trevor's plane. To counter the attack, the protagonist crashes his plane into the cargo bay and fights with the mercenaries until he makes it to the cockpit.

After taking control of the new plane, he flies it towards McKenzie Field. However, two US Air Force fighter jets catch wind of his plans and demand that he reroute the plane to Fort Zancudo. Trevor refuses to comply, and the fighter jets begin firing missiles at his plane, destroying one of its starboard engines.

Sensing that the situation would soon get out of hand, the protagonist picks up a parachute and bails out of the plane, parachuting away to safety while the plane crashes into the sea.
