Brotherhood of Steel airbase

The Brotherhood of Steel airbase is a location .
==History==
===Background===
Supposedly once acting as an airport and/or Air Force base on the West Coast before the Great War, the facility was taken over by a chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel sometime before 2296. It has since served a pivotal role in the Brotherhood's operations in and around New California, acting as a training camp for the Brotherhood's countless aspirants.

==Layout==
The base's layout includes extensive runways, hangars, barracks, and command facilities. Large swaths of tarmac allow Brotherhood Vertibirds to take off and land safely. A watch-tower overlooks the runway that younger Brotherhood initiates would use to smoke. Initiates could be seen clearing pathways, suggesting that the Brotherhood had recently taken the airbase, or were in the middle of restoring or expanding it. The base is also home to a presumably large underground bunker complex, with at least separate five partially submerged bunker entrances being visible. Brotherhood of Steel members can be seen building what looks to be road ways between the bunkers and the airstrips. 
By the 2290s, it was one of the Brotherhood's few known strongholds on the West Coast. It is home to a sizable contingent of the organization's forces, including clerics, officers, support personnel, and a large number of aspirants of all ages. These aspirants are housed in the base's barracks and undergo training from clerics to become active field soldiers of the Brotherhood. The bunkhouses held both males and females together. Dane recovered in a tented clinic area close to the barracks after they were injured. 
The Scribes used one of the Hangars to teach classes to the Initiates on old-world technology, utilizing desks and chalkboards. They punished wrong answers using a switch. 
A garage was used to store the T-60 Power Armor suits at Power Armor stations for the arriving Eastern Brotherhood Knights. 
An old airplane was used as a meeting place between High Elder Quintus and Initiate Maximus under the suspicion he had purposefully injured his friend Dane.
==Notes==
* The name and location of the airbase are never stated in the series. The title of this page is completely conjectural.
* The pre-War American flag can be seen still being flown at the airbase, alongside the Brotherhood flag, despite the Brotherhood largely viewing the former USA as a failed nation.
==Behind the scenes==
* The scenes for the Brotherhood airbase were filmed at Wendover Airport in Utah, formerly known as Wendover Air Force Base until 1969. The base prominently served as the training site of the 509th Composite Group, the B-29 unit that carried out the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The locations used for filming include:
** Ordnance storage area, where Maximus receives a beat-down from Thaddeus and his minions. The western part of the area is also used to depict latrine digging.
** The control tower, base headquarters, and operations building are next to hangar #1.
** Airmen dormitories are in the northeastern part of the base (with two tents set up in front of the dining hall, housing communications equipment, and the infirmary).
** Parked C-123 and staff car next to the squadron hangar, in the scene where Maximus is interrogated by Cleric Quintus.
** The buildings at the western part of the ordnance storage area, currently used by the Center for Land Use Interpretation.
*The hangar at the airbase features a poster that heavily resembles the Nellis Air Force Base "Keeping America Safe!" poster from loading screens . The same text can be seen on the bottom of the poster, and text can also be seen on the top of the poster. The top text also roughly resembles the words "Nellis Air Force Base," but the first word is too small to be legible.
