Wendover Air Force Base, former United States Air Force base in Utah now known as Wendover Airport
Wendover Air Force Base is a military air installation in the Utah desert near the Nevada border. The facility contains multiple runways, large hangars, and buildings from different periods scattered across open ground.
The facility was established in 1940 and played an important role in military air operations during World War Two. It remained an active airfield after the war and is now registered as a historic site.
Visitors should prepare for desert conditions with intense heat and minimal shade across the open grounds. The cooler months from fall through spring offer more comfortable visiting conditions than summer.
