hmm...... you guys are getting good at this. If the base is mostly underground then whats the point of having such high security above ground in such a large radius? Another point.
Also: Why nevada?
will we ever know

You answered your own questions sort of. Planes need alot of room to play. ALso, nevada in terms of area is the least populated state in the union. Also, when it became a state the Feds annexed over 70% of it for federal use. THere are by far bigger screts being held out in the desert.

Look the the Area 51 reserch group in the Research forum. TOns of stuff and we just started

I have taken the trip to the border of Area 51....Its interesting to know the military is still trying to test new technology in this day and age.

My mother and father were both in the Air Force in the middle to late 60's. Both had codeword level classification...but never knew about Groom Lake. However my father did see A12's at CCK in Tiawan in the 67-68 time frame...
