Had to look it up. It appears most of Utah gets snow except for the far southern valleys. But since there is no landing strip then clearing the runway off would be a moot point. But the Joe team would probably still need Combat Controllers to check the condition of the makeshift landing strip (patch of ground) to determine if it is safe for planes to land and then guide the planes in.

no, the only thing involving an aircraft at night was when the Star-Viper broke in and stole the 'black box' from the shuttle and then escaped with it and launched the Stiletto rocket plane out of a semi-truck. Hollingsworth arrived the following morning in his flying command post; the departure to Benzheen was day time and so was the return from Borovia.
"In Utah, A group of new Joes, including Chuckles and Psyche Out, are escorted to their bunks in the above ground part of the GI Joe base. They don't have the proper paperwork to get clearance to even be total about The Pit III. A large vehicle is moving outside, when Hard Top and Payload come in to complain about vehicles parked in the wrong spot. Later that night, Chuckles and Psyche-Out are outside investigating the large tracks that just disappear. When they return to the barracks the whole GI Joe team is partying because they have just finished their new base, The Pit III." |

oh, yeah. But that didn't involve aircraft landing, so I wasn't thinking about it.

I'm sticking with the Utah desert. That's the location of my PIT.

The way I remember the movie was it was in the Sahara desert, which always made sense to me, as that would be closer to a lot of the hotspots Cobra might work in.
But then it comes down to a sort of how you think Cobra operates. The comics always made them seem like they just went anywhere, with a slight US focus, but that makes sense for a US based comic series. My Joe Team is more global, more like the movie (Though it was like that when I was a kid as well.) They have 2 FOBS, one in Southern Arizona which handles ops in the Americas, and one in the Southern Unite Arab Emirates, which handles situations in Africa,Europe and Asia, as well as R&D and Development for the team. The UAE base is larger than the one in America as it handles a larger world stage and is also the logistics division. The Joes also have the Flagg, which is a super-carrier and looks like the cool one in GI Joe Resolute. It goes where it is needed, and docks at Norfolk when it has too, though it is designed to operate at seas with minimal dock time required, and is large enough for large aircraft to land with extensive supplies.

My verse has Joe mashed up with its Sunbow counterparts (Transformers and Jem) as well as Watchmen. So Nixon is still the president in 86 (and attempted genocide on the Autobots and Decepticons), all the nukes have been destroyed, and so on. NATO and the Warsaw Pact dissolved after both superpowers lost their nuclear arsenal, and the US began pulling out of the world at large to focus on internal strife, leaving the Joes as the last instrument of international force (though they occasionally have to do some of Nixon's wet work).
The Joes are stationed out of a remote base (not named as such but resembling the Pit) in the Nevada desert, keeping them out of DC or any major target for enemies of state, so they can mount a counteroffensive. Cobra still finds it and attacks it twice, first with the Noks, then with Firefly. Action Force in my verse is the spec-ops team of an international alliance working for lesser powers' common defense in this bizarre new landscape. Each member state (who maintains a five-person squad) has a base somewhere, but the main bases are in (unified) Germany, Sweden, and Ireland (the first three countries to send troops to aid Finland against the invading Soviets after the US left, forming the alliance), as well as the UK and Japan (to ward off threats from China and the Soviets). Most Cobra members are Americans in my verse, as the organization is essentially an extremely well-organized, funded, trained, and equiped rebel/separatist militia with foreign backing and limited overseas operations. They originally base themselves out of Springfield, Illinois, but after their operation is found out there they head for the Caribbean, eventually turning Puerto Rico into Cobra Island. The Red Shadows has a lesser role, but they are one of Action Force's biggest foes outside of the Oktober Guard (AF has shaky relations with the Joes, but the Soviets are in an on-and-off war with them). This Neo-Nazi organization is based predominantly out of Europe, with ties in South America and a working relationship with Aum Shinrikyo in Japan, who lent them Red Laser. And then Destro bases his Iron Grenadiers out of Callander, Scotland, of course. |
