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

Description

Along with Griphon, this base is one of the two largest air force bases in Medici.

As with most bases in Insula Striate, this base is very heavily guarded. 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 is 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."

After liberation, it is possible to encounter a rebel wielding a Prizrak U4. This weapon is not commonly seen wielded by Rebellion soldiers.

Completion

Rewards (after completion)

  • U-7 Dravec becomes available at Rebel drop.
  • Three challenges become available.
    • Stunt Jump Sprint
    • Jet Frenzy I
    • Aeroporto Tour

Glitches

 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.

 All Platforms   Occasionally, U-7 Dravecs and CS7 Thunderhawk land on Vulture's runways and taxi into the hangar. Once in there, they disappear unexpectedly, but their engine noises and other audio can still be heard.

 All Platforms   After liberation, the SAMs could despawn, which is strange.

Trivia

  • By alphabetical order, this is the last settlement in Medici.
  • The in-game description suggests this airport was constructed at least in 1915. The layout of the airport probably changed over time: it is unlikely, though not impossible, that it might have been built at that time in its current configuration (the first experimental hard runway in real life was built at Clermont-Ferrand in France in 1916, though one would not be fully operational until Henry Ford reworked the airfield at Dearborn, Michigan with a concrete runway in 1928), but the construction seems insufficiently weathered to indicate 100 years of constant exposure to the elements.
  • On the left side of the roadway to this settlement, there is a guard tower and 1 SAM outside this settlement. This spot is guarded by some soldiers (Medici Military and Black Hand before liberation, The Rebellion after liberation).
  • When the enemy radio calls in "Here comes the cavalry!", Rico will reply "Huh, these guys never learn", like he does at the other bases with this same call.
