Fans of the Fallout video game series will have a fun new experience waiting for them soon in Wendover, UT, where Amazon’s live-action Fallout series was recently filming. According to Thomas Petersen, historian and board member of the Historic Wendover Airfield Foundation, part of the set used in the production will be made available for the public to see at some point in the future.
Yes there was filming for “Fallout” in Wendover. In fact, one set will be retained for visitors to the airfield to actually visit and see. However, due to the agreement the airfield has with the production company that is about all we can say.

This new development isn’t out of the ordinary for Wendover Airfield. The 1997 film Con Air was filmed here as well. In fact, they kept one of the planes used in the movie and put it on public display.
It’s unknown at this time what exactly was filmed at the airfield, but it’s a safe bet that planes were involved. It would not be much of a stretch to imagine that they might be retaining a plane from Fallout, just as they did for Con Air 25 years ago.
Filming for the Fallout series began in New York before moving to Wendover, UT. Shooting has now wrapped there as well, leaving the film crew to head to California for the final scenes of the Amazon series which will wrap production in 2023.

After the war, Wendover was used as a training ground for various USAF units until it was finally retired in 1969. Today, Wendover Airfield is a popular tourist destination, with several museums and exhibits dedicated to its WWII history.
