Tanis Airstrip

Tanis airstrip, the desert landing strip hidden by a low rise near the Nazi excavation camp. This location includes the fuel-truck/refueling area where mechanics top off the Nazi Flying Wing; a tank truck collision there ruptures containers and unleashes rivers of aviation fuel that soak the sand, contributing to a sudden, earthshaking explosion and towering fireball visible across the desert. The blast draws diggers, Nazi officers, and camp workers toward the chaos and plays a direct role in exposing the Ark crate as camp guards are ordered to hold fast.
