“Isn't that old bomber a beauty? Thanks so much for making an old man's dreams come true.”— Loyal
Loyal is an elder member of the Boomers at Nellis Air Force Base in 2281.
Background
The "old man" of the Boomers, Loyal is the chief mechanic of the Nellis Air Force Base keeping the Solar array and other key machines functioning and has grown up on Nellis since leaving Vault 34. Unlike the other boomers, he does not have the same xenophobia as the other boomers do and actually seems to appreciate the Courier's help. He can be found in the southern hangar of Nellis. His house is the farthest to the left of the three hogans on the back side of the two main hangars.

Bugs
- Crazy, Crazy, Crazy quest has not been completed, Loyal may disappear from Nellis Air Force Base. Completing quest should fix this problem. Sometimes, if
- If the player has completed Volare! before doing the Render Unto Caesar or The House Always Wins questlines, Loyal becomes useless when attempting to get The Boomers to side with either faction. Despite the quest arrow pointing to him, the only remark he will give is about the resurrected plane.
- To fix this, enter player.placeatme 000fed42 into the console when you're in the B29 version of the hangar.
Loyal may become missing after completing Volare. This is because the hanger with the B29 is replaced with another cell. Loyal may be stuck in the old cell.
