How do I get back to the Brotherhood of Steel airship?

[Decoy]

I went to the airship when doing the "Shadow of steel" quest. I finished the quest then decided to fast travel and do some unrelated quests.

Now I can't find a way to get back to the airship to complete the quests in there. It doesn't appear on the map, so no fast travel. I spoke to everyone in the Boston's airport where the airship is, without any success.

I'd like to know if the solution is in front of my eyes and I'm just stupid (which is a reasonable answer) or if it's a bug (like the hundred other ones I've encounter so far...). I'm afraid to go further on the other quests in case I'll have to load an old save and lose my progress....

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Is the vertibird gone too?

[jyuuu]

no fast travel sounds odd, the way to get to it from the ground is
1. enter the gates of the airport
2. take a right and enter the large hanger
3. should be a wall in front of you and a dead end on the right
4. go left until you see a vertibird and board it

Should be a Vertibird at the airport, can't quite descibe where it is but up some stairs there should be a helicopter landing pad with a Vertibird sitting there that can take you up to the Prydwen.

Well, seems to be a bug then :( No Vertibird anywhere to be found, I should have been suspicious when I saw this guy on the plateform welding something invisible in front of him.

I'm not hostile with the BoS. But the Shadow of Steel quest was crashing the game for me, so I used the console to get around it and spawn directly in the airship, don't know if it has anything to do with the bug... maybe....

I guess it's only 3 hours lost. Thanks a lot guys for your answers!

Or u could use no clip to get to the ship.

Thank you so much Cyanx!!! I didn't know about the no clip command! I'm back in business!

Edit: I found out why I couldn't fast travel there. I did spent around 20 mins on the Prydwen but it didn't count as discovered. For it to be "discovered" (and be able to fast travel there) you have to walk close to the Vertibird. But since I spawned on the aircraft using a consol command I didn't walk through the right place.
