The southern hangar had no true runway to speak of, so it strictly supported only VTOL aircraft such as [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]]s and [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]]s. There were multiple landing pads situated both underground and above ground. In several locations throughout the base, [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] compasses could still be seen on the walls. Because of its age, the base often frustrated UNSC personnel in the 26th century because it required constant maintenance and employed outdated technology, one example of which was evidenced in the controls for its [[door]]s.<ref name="crow"/> | The southern hangar had no true runway to speak of, so it strictly supported only VTOL aircraft such as [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]]s and [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]]s.
