Presidential Vertibird

Bear Force One is the presidential vertibird of the New California Republic.

Characteristics
Bear Force One is a unique VB-02 Vertibird used by the NCR to transport its presidents. Currently Aaron Kimball uses it to get to his various speeches, meet and greets, and other appointments. It was seized during the NCR-Enclave War and re-purposed as a private transport, and it is well armored and closely guarded when upon the ground. The aircraft suffers frequent flight control problems, however, and constantly needs its flight computer fine tuned by a skilled engineer. It's unclear if this is a design flaw in all vertibirds or caused by modifications to the aircraft by the NCR.

It only appears during the quests You'll Know It When It Happens and Arizona Killer. The aircraft flies in from over the northwestern ridge near Hoover Dam. Shooting or aiming at the vertibird will result in being attacked by nearby NCR forces. Painted on the side of Bear Force One is the NCR bear logo. This vertibird is the same model as the ones seen in Fallout 3 but is a darker green color.

Variants

 * VB-02 Vertibird, the standard aircraft of the Enclave.

Behind the scenes
"Bear Force One" is a pun reference to the U.S. Presidential airplane "Air Force One" and the two-headed bear symbol of the NCR.
