Steel Tower
Though this steel tower sits on the edge of the flight line of the base it was not there when the base was in active use. It was constructed as a camera platform for the filming of the 1996 space alien invasion film, "Independence Day." The base and surrounding salt flats stood in for Area 51 and some scenes representing El Toro Marine Corps Base.
Army Air Corps base in Wendover, Utah.
