Vulture (pronounced vul-toor-ah, according to the General's News Network) is a military airfield in Just Cause 3.

Description

Along with Griphon, it's one of the two largest airforce bases in Medici.

The airbase is built on the side of a large cliff in the province of Maestrale and is extremely large. It is littered with SAM launchers (9 to be precise), so the player must always be careful when attempting to Liberate this place in a plane or a helicopter.

It has three major runways and multiple hangars. One of these hangars always contains a couple of U-7 Dravecs. There's a constant traffic of Dravecs and Thunderhawks departing and landing on all three air runways.

In-game map description: "The military airport of Vulture stores a massive compliment of jets and bombers in its underground hangars. The famous Hirundine Squadron, which has protected Medici's skies for 100 years, calls Vulture home."

Glitch

 All Platforms   For whatever odd reason, U-7 Dravecs (and sometimes CS7 Thunderhawks) landing here will flip over at the end of the right most runway. Very few don't flip over.

This could be a development error resulting from inaccurate landing paths.

{{Console unknown}} Stealing a parked jet with a rebel inside can rarely cause it to blow up.

 Xbox One   (NOTICE: This can only be seen if Mech Land Assault or Bavarium Sea Heist has been downloaded.) Black Hand Pavouk U-15s will spawn here along with Medici Military variants after liberation. Geschwind V3000s also spawn here, almost always spawning at least one of each of the mentioned vehicles in all variants.

Vehicles

• CS7 Thunderhawk.
• U-7 Dravec.
• Imperator Bavarium Tank (used by base commander).
• Urga Postolka.
• Carmen Albatross (post liberation).
• Several Geschwind V3000 and Pavouk U-15 spawn at the base after liberation, in Military, Black Hand and Rebel colours.
• Weimaraner W3 + Weimaraner (post liberation).
• Urga Ogar 7 V8.
