The GAZ is a full-sized pickup with a body rating over twice that of the Air Supply.  I'll let you draw your own conclusions there..

Soooooooooooooooooooooo...  Ask the GM? 

[Onion Man]

Yeah... came top that conclusion last night.  I may still need those smuggler contacts, but I'm still adding the Air Supply to the fleet.  I could make an argument that since we can air-tow tanks under helicopters I could air-tow a pickup under a VTOL with less body than it, but I don't think I could make the argument that it would be able to make a trans-Atlantic flight.

*Shakes Head*  No.  Maybe, *MAYBE* short distances, under continuous Rigger control as that would be well out of a Pilot Program's set parameters, and it'd be about as obvious as a...

Well...

A flying pick-up truck.

A flying pickup truck covered in armed drones...

Previous post should have said "Since we can air-tow tanks under helicopters", but yeah... that's not exactly a long distance thing.  I've switched the plan to using 9 points on an arms smuggler contact.  He'd ought to have a plane or a boat that a truck can hide in.

Or a Seaplane.  Those are beautiful for smugglers for a lot of reasons!

I highly suggest TOD, BTW.

I'll second that succestion.
My favorite from it has to be the CAS Wandjina, that baby has both a reinforced weapon mount and a normal weapon mount, all for the low low cost of 12,5k
LONE STAR STRATO-9 is also quite awesome, giving you a flying reinforced weapon mount for only 3,5k

I would say that the Air-Supply could carry perhaps one motorcycle, and even then only if it has that mod that lets you break down a vehicle for transport. Maybe a few dufflebags of gear beyond that.

At least, that's what I stuff into my rigger's AS.

Couldn't you just get three or so of them, and have them all carry the truck?

That type of tight flying is really, really difficult to do even for humans.  A Pilot program?  Forget it.

[SirDelta]

What about making a cargo helicopter into a drone?

[CanRay]

Same as making any vehicle a drone, and a lot less hard to do with Pilot programming.

'Course, you could just make the truck a drone and have it drive itself.

Truck can't exactly drive from Lagos to Calfree

[CanRay]

Be hard to expect any drones to fly that far, either.

Well, Ballistic Flights...

If you don't mind long waiting times:
use a (mini)submarine with electric motor and solar panels.
takes weeks/months, but is nearly undetectable and does not need fuel or air or anything . .

[CanRay]

And solar panels work deep underwater, how? 

Well, OK, "When at 15% power, surface and continue route until at 80% or greater power and then resume course underwater.", easy enough to program in.  And something with that small a "Footprint" would be really hard to make.  Just hope it doesn't hit a storm when surfaced.
