I think you are looking at the Korean Airfield. Invest a bit of money and read Sierra Hotel. You can read it as a pdf for free if you have the
patience to read an entire book at a computer:
www.airforcehistory.hq.af.mil...
Of course, buying the book feeds the kitty of the author.
The book goes into the history of the Nellis range and has the famed Jeremiah Weed story in it. The tail number of the plane in the book is wrong. I
have the FOIA from the crash. [I have no explanation why the tail number is wrong.]
If you go to the Little Aleinn, they have a bottle of Jeremiah Weed behind the counter, though few behind the bar know the story. Those that do know
the story have the wrong crash site. [Remember, there are lots of crashed planes around the range.] To the best of my knowledge, the bar in the
Jeremiah Weed story is the abandoned casino at the intersection of 93 and 318, not the Little Aleinn.
I haven't read the other post, but I have taken the tour of the NTS a few times and have inquired about Area 19. The story is it was used for high
yield tests, hence a location further away from Vegas.
Area 19 is very hard to observe from "free territory". I believe you would have to hike Kawich near the TTR. I haven't done any computer line of
sight analysis on this, but will put it on the list.
