'''Airview Base''' was a small [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] watchpoint outpost near [[SWORD Base]] on the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]] on [[Reach]], named so because it overlooks the base's airfield. It contained one [[M71 Anti-Aircraft Gun|anti-aircraft turret]] before the [[Fall of Reach|Battle of Reach]] began.<ref name="waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/haloreach/maps ''Halo Waypoint'': ''Halo: Reach maps - Beachhead''] (defunct, archive [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Games/Halo: Reach|here]] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20141012163535/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/haloreach/maps Archive.org]</ref> | |||

On August 29, Noble Six and a squad of ODSTs passed through what remained of the base in an [[M808B Scorpion]] tank, destroying the two Tyrants on the way to Sword Base, clearing the sky for [[NOBLE Team]]'s [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon tiltrotor]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Package]]''</ref> | ||
At some point, a UNSC operation would retake the base and use the Covenant Tyrant guns as defensive points.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | |||
