Washington, D.C. airport

The Washington, D.C. airport was an airport before the Great War located in or near Washington, D.C., only referred to generically as "air station."
==Background==
Sometime after the bombs fell, a group of people trying to gain entry to Vault 101 used the scrap from the planes and buildings at the airport as building materials to create the town of Megaton. According to Manya Vargas, the airport was not far from the town. Over time, the rest of the airport was reclaimed by nature and no sign of its existence remains.Lone Wanderer: "There are a lot of parts here for just one machine."Manya Vargas: "Good eye. You're right honey, there are. There was an air station a couple of miles from here. It'd been stripped of everything except the planes. My daddy got a bunch of people together to go out there, break apart the machines and drag back what we could use. It took 'em a couple of months. You can't even tell where the air station was anymore. The Wasteland just took it back."(Manya Vargas' dialogue)
==Appearances==
The Washington, D.C. airport is mentioned only in Fallout 3.
==Behind the scenes==
In the real world, the D.C. metropolitan area includes two major airports, Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Virginia and Reagan National Airport in downtown Washington, D.C., neither of which appear in Fallout 3. Geographically, in Fallout 3, all the locations west of the Potomac River are part of Virginia.Positions of the VAPL-58, VAPL-66, and VAPL-84 power stations, as well as other locations such as the Fairfax ruins and Calverton. This would indicate the air station to more likely be based on Dulles Airport.
