Behind the scenes

 * This location, along with the hostile robots encountered upon its discovery, pays homage to the crashed Vertibird found in Klamath Canyon in Fallout 2. Daisy Whitman in Novac mentions that the Vertibird suffered from a rotor malfunction over Klamath.
 * A deceased character named "Vertibird pilot" is included in the resources for Fallout: New Vegas, but was not used in the game's final release. This character was presumably meant to be placed at the crash site at some point during development. Among the dead pilot's inventory is a red sector key card, a further reference to the Klamath Canyon site, more specifically to the yellow reactor keycard found on one of the deceased pilots found in that location.
