Utah’s Top Secret Nuclear Base

15 minutes south of the Salt Lake Airport lies another airport, cleverly named Airport #2. This airport was actually started by the military in the early 50’s. What you will find interesting about this now public airport, is the large land mass to the north of the runways, and the unique procedures for pilots at this airport. At this airport, pilots are absolutely required to not fly over this field, even though, this requires a sharp turn at an extremely low altitude. Additionally, the last person that walked into this field is now in jail for trespassing - for a really long time. Seem odd? Well, this is because, in fact, there are still active nuclear missiles under this field. Similar the NIKE base in the hills of North Orange County - Utah has it’s own dirty little secret, complete with it’s own special underground entrance 5 miles away.

    WOW, that would be cool. I just google-mapped the place and yes there is an airport, and yes there is a field(empty) just north of the runnway. HOWEVER if you understand the dynamics of a plane, or jet taking off you would know that you could not make an immediate turn on takeoff. google map it, and do the math.
    I’m calling this one BUNK!

    update: the airport is called the Salt Lake City Municipal Airport #2 is a public airport located in West Jordan, seven miles (11 km) southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. It is the primary general aviation airport in the area, to offload many flights from the larger, international airport nearby.

    The airport also is a training base for the Utah Army National Guard, which holds the Apache and the Blackhawk helicopters
