Ilopango Air Force Base is a military airfield outside [[San Salvador]], [[El Salvador]], that served as the hub for [[Oliver North]]'s illegal Contra resupply operation and a center for Contra-connected cocaine trafficking during the 1980s. Situated atop a plateau surrounded by imposing cliffs, the base had a restricted military side tightly guarded by the Salvadoran military and a civilian side used for private aviation.[^1]
