Nevada Test Site Runway ?, page 1

Well, I found in GoogleEarth a small portion of lands near the NTS and Nellis AFB, and that seems to be barracks, some hangars and one runway. Do any of you know exactly what area is?

I honestly don't know mate, there are planes on the floor and its an obvious hanger but to its written purpose im stumped, i did a little google search and nothing of worth came back, hope some one else knows.

edit - If it is the Mercury section than this link should be helpful... LINK

Yes, if you look carefully you will see the runways leading to a mountain. these are only practice target areas. Mostly simulated. I know someone who used to work there.

Also Nelllis can be ruled out as a Fema Concentration camp. No trains or barbed wire fences there.

This is the Industrial complex, showing simulated target areas by the mountain and other places. and one of the airfield.

The satellite caught a PC-12 and B190. Obviously the LMCO and Groom Lake planes, respectively.

I spent at least an hour with the PAO for the DOE regarding this new runway. No environmental reports were filed, clearly a no-no. Think of the desert tortoises!

You may recall I caught one of the LMCO PC-12s landing at Groom Lake with the "Booty" callsign on the Groom tower frequency. The LCMO PC-12s are based out of KVGT.

Lockheed Martin run the Yucca Lake (Área 6) airfield?
Look this interesting article: www.shundahai.org...

I'm not so sure the LMCO project comes under "use of the facilities." I think you are referring to the chemical spill area much further north of this new runway, though still in the same general area.

Given how little information there was about the construction of this new runway, I'd bet LMCO paid the cost of construction, or set up some restricted lease or leaseback deal.

While easy to see from the NTS itself, you need to go pretty high up Mt. Sterling to snoop on this airspace.

Speaking of the NTS, I was monitoring Groom Tower and heard a pilot instructed to use "Media Day Approach". [Sorry, no recording.] Now since Groom Lake never had a media day, I have to assume this meant Media Day at the NTS. However, hope springs eternal that their will someday be a Media Day at Groom Lake, and the ATC is just being proactive.
