After turning their infamy into worldwide fame, the Third Street Saints now find themselves at war with a powerful criminal organization called The Syndicate. Strap it on.
I noticed them sometimes not landing, like circling me for a minute before disappearing in the distance again, but I never had problems calling them. Strange.
They are always in my phone, but they don't always so up. And if they show up, they don't always land. They often hover above a cleared area. I actually get a helicopter about 60% of the time and a VTOL about 25%.
I have the same issue. I haven't bought the VTOL, but I bought the Heli Homie unlock and it's like it never actually took the unlock. I've had a similar issue with stores and property. I'll buy them, and once I save, quit, and reload...the money is gone but the properties aren't mine. Annoyance at worst...

Why would you save, quit and reload right after you buy properties?
I play a lot of co-op and I'm a parent of a 3 and a 1 year old. My co-op partners are friends of mine, most of whom are parents of young kids. Point being, life happens and we all have to save and quit here and there. It's not something I do habitually, but my 1 year old is teething and is battling an ear infection. So those few precious hours that I spend gaming are frequently interrupted. I stopped playing with strangers for the same reason. I don't want to be the ass who drops out in a close game on Live, but my kids are the priority, so I will...that, and when you only have an hour or two here and there IF the kids sleep soundly, I don't want it ruined by typical public match BS... Long and rambling answer, I know...and, it was typed on an iPhone... Sorry about the formatting and lack of direct reply...my phone doesn't like Giant Bomb's forum code.

You're not missing much, every time I call in a VTOL homie, he either never shows up, or shows up and immediately crashes. Might want to go post in the official forums or something, though I imagine its just glitched and you're screwed.
The VTOL needs big open areas to land. Some crossroads work too.
After completing the story, I can't call in any of my character homies (only the vehicle delivery and saints/SWAT backup work) anymore and they're all labelled as being ''busy''. Burt Reynolds I wasn't able to call even during the story =/ The whole Homie Mechanic (jesus, did I really just type Homie Mechanic?) is pretty buggy overall it seems.
I had a similar issue with Oleg. About halfway through the game his icon became grayed-out and he was unavailable for the duration, which is a bummer as he's great to have around wrecking shop.
I just want to know, how long it takes for the VTOL to become available on the phone (HOMIE VTOL)? I bought the Homie delivery, summoned the VTOL, and it just hovered over a fucking parking lot, trying to land but not touching down for five minutes IRL. Finally I said FUCK IT and blew it out of the sky with an RPG! Now I'm at the airport waiting for it to become available again.

Open up your save game (suggest your last numbered one), go to the homies tab, uncheck VTOL, save, open game, go to campaign, load that saved game (suggesting the one with most recent time), try to call vtol homie and likely fail to do so, save, quit game, re-open tool, go back to homies tab after opening save game again, re-check vtol homie, save, reopen saint's row, should now be working.
Remember... always get the PC versions of games, because there's always a fix.

Well when he's done playing he probably saves and quits. Then when he is ready to play again he reloads or loads the save. I don't think he's doing all three the moment he buys the property.
