Editing Vandenberg Air Force Base

'''Vandenberg Air Force Base''' is an American [[spaceport]] located in California, on the Pacific coast. Because of its location it is used for launches into [[polar]] orbit; as well as missile tests over the Pacific ocean.

There are several excellent Addons modeling the base.
