Western Duster
Western Duster is the community's name for the vehicle seen in the Launch Trailer (0:55) of GTA VI: biplane trailing pink smoke over the beach with someone standing on the wing. Rockstar has not confirmed the name. Its most likely real-life inspiration is the Boeing-Stearman Model 75, something Rockstar never confirms.
