Hey, thank Matt Cawby. He is going to do a page of all the Janets he photographed at the facility.

Someday I'll make a list of where they bring the Janets for repair. They use Duncan Aviation in Vegas. Also some facility in Oklahoma. The beechcraft get up grades in Florida.

Here's another I found on Matt's site.

Matt now has all the Janets on one page:

Somebody was trying to start a rumor that the 737s were going to replaced. I gather this is not the case since the planes seem to be getting routine maintenance.

I'm going to buy a new set of logs on the birds.
As an FYI, this is where you buy FAA documents:
162.58.35.241...
At the moment, the server isn't working, so try it again later if you don't get through.

I can tell you from the older documents I've purchased, the Janets are not very sexy. About the only interesting thing is that they have UHF radios, which one assumes is to monitor military aircraft talking to Groom Tower. This is a summary I made from the FAA documents:

I haven't seen Groom air traffic mentioned in a while, but the operations at Groom are like any other airport. That is, they have approach/departure, tower, and ground frequencies.

It's really hard to copy the ground traffic unless you are on Tikaboo.

I updated Google earth yesterday and went back as usual to Area 51 and i can see what i take to be 2 Janets sitting parked by the hangars? They def look like 737's to me, can someone else take a look and tell me if i am right please?

Well if they wanna ditch those hideous 732's, I have some 3/4th torn down MD82's and a 747-200 in Roswell I will make them a sweet deal on. Shoot there are 4 Fokker F100s sitting out there too. Gariac, did you hear about the L10 that exploded at Roswell when American Eagle was there for a big ceremony about new service there?
