The Area 42 Airfield was a functional airfield located in Area 42 until it was destroyed by Crypto with an atomic bomb. The US Military were attempting to build a craft of their own, capable of flight. This posed a large threat to the Furon Empire, because if this technology worked, it would only be a matter of time until they foiled Crypto's plans.
