Skylanes Flight 1981

The Skylanes Flight 1981 is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. Skylanes Flight 1981 is completely smashed super-airliner of some kind.

History
The plane was on approach to Boston airport when it went down. Its unclear how the plane was destroyed. From the smuggling manifest, the plane was destroyed on the day that the bombs fell. From the data recorder its unclear what actually destroyed the plane - it goes from sounds of astonishment to the plane breaking up. Presumably the plane was buffeted by a shockwave and started to come apart.

The aircraft was a flying wing design with a vertical stabilizer on each wing. There was a glass dome at the tail cone likely for navigation purposes. The fuselage alo housed seating as well as a cargo bay above and beneath the cabin floor.Its wingspan is so enormous that the wings themselves contain seats. The plane appears to have been powered by giant engine clusters with 5 turbojet intakes. From the radiation near the engines its presumably atomic powered.

Layout
The main body of the aircraft is in a gulch between two rocky bluffs. The plane seems to have broken apart into 4 main pieces. The cockpit, the left wing, the right wing, and the tail. The Cockpit section's lower area consists of cargo and baggage areas. The cockpit section is accessible by some debris on the left side through a hole in the hull, the player can gain access to the passenger compartment. The left and right wing of the plane is entirely snapped off. Due to radiation at the crash site, the wreckage is inhabited by ghoulified crash survivors. These can present a problem to low level players. However the minute men will sometimes seize control of the area.

Notable Loot

 * Military fatigues Located in the fusilage near one of the wings.
 * Short combat shotgun and duffle bag in the almost vertical part of the plane.
