 '''Fort Baxter Air Base''' is a national guard military base in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. Located on a peninsular bordering the grounds of [[Escobar International Airport|Escobar International]] to the south, the air base is initially part of the Escobar International district in GTA Vice City, but becomes an independent district in GTA Vice City Stories.

 It is worth noting that Fort Baxter, like the [[Washington Beach]] [[Washington Beach Police Station|police station]], can be entered freely if the player is wearing the cop outfit, giving very easy access to military vehicles located inside. It is also worth noting that attacking a soldier will cause all the soldiers to attack the player regardless.

 Like in GTA Vice City, military vehicles spawn within the base, but are available from the start of the game as the player begins within half of the city where the base is in. The only exception is the the Rhino, which can only be unlocked after "[[Over the Top]]".

 ==Ghost Tower==
-The "Ghost Tower" refers to an air traffic control tower that was originally intended to be located within Fort Baxter in GTA Vice City. The building was removed prior to the game's release. It seemed to be meant to serve a runway at the base that was also cut pre-release. The low level-of-detail building, visible in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, can only be viewed before entering the mainland, before the loading screen of the mainland. The tower will not be visible if the player enters the mainland. A video depicting the tower's presence can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwMupD8iJtA here].
