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age, the base often frustrated UNSC personnel in the 26th century because it required constant maintenance and employed outdated technology, one example of which was evidenced in the controls for its [[door]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|crow}} | The southern hangar had no true runway to speak of, so it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.

During the [[Battle of Kenya]], it was used for its proximity to what the UNSC thought might be the [[Installation 00|Ark]], but was in reality [[Portal at Voi|the portal]] to the Ark. Crow's Nest was also a well-fortified location that provided some relative protection from aerial and [[orbital bombardment]].{{Ref/Reuse|crow}} | During the [[Battle of Kenya]], it was used for its proximity to what the UNSC thought might be the [[Installation 00|Ark]], but was in reality [[Portal at Voi|the portal]] to the Ark.

After the war, the UNSC would create a number of [[War Games]] simulations based on Crow's Nest, for [[Spartan-IV]] training. "[[Rat's Nest]]" is a faithful recreation of an ammunition storage facility high inside the base.<ref name="WP-Earth">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth ''Halo Waypoint'': ''Earth'']</ref> | After the war, the UNSC would create a number of [[War Games]] simulations based on Crow's Nest, for [[Spartan-IV]] training.
