Just got back off holidaqy from Las Vegas and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the aircraft below ? These come in and out of Vegas all day and i was wondering who they were ? On asking a few locals apparently they take employees out to Area 51 and back each day.There must be at least 5 or 6 aircraft in the fleet but thats all i could find out. We all know the U.S goverment denys this place but where else could they be going ?

Extremely secure!!! Was at Red Flag in 92, 3 German tornadoes overflew the edge of the restricted area, they were sent home packing!!!! no second chance.

I have seen these 732s at McCarran many times and wondered what they were

Hi the 737’s are operated by ‘EG&G Group’ for the department of the airforce. There are 6, one (N4529W) is a 737-247, the other 5
(N5175U,N5176Y,N5177C,N5294E,N5294M) are ex USAF T-43A’s. But don’t ask too many questions about them!!!

These are designated as “Janet” flights. They are indeed used for flights to shuttle workers back and forth between Area 51 and Las Vegas. They are isolated to a remote part of the field where there is a fenced off terminal with parking for 2000 cars. Strange stuff….
