Nellis, home of the daily flight of black opps. Only place that people drive to an airport to get flown to work. Got to love the internet. Nellis was also one time home of the f 117 and secondary landing site of the shuttle. how convenient.

F117 isn't out of Nellis. At one time, it was based out at Groom Lake, which is just north of Vegas.
My brother is a TSgt out at Creech. He's a MIC for the Predators.

Believe Nellis still is secondary to shuttle landing (long enough), second to the newly completed 34L at Denver Int'l Airport.
Anyways, /tour of LV

Is that where the 22's are now?
My brother was in the CAOC at Nellis, but they moved him up to Creech. He just got back from a year in Qatar, working for a contractor. He's back now. If you're ever up at Creech, he's TSgt. Britt. He's had a couple of Hyundai's too.
I was driving an '06 350Z I bought in May '06. Now I'm driving an '08 Mustang GT/CS.

Groom Lake. hmm supposedly to the government it doesn't exist. Sea Tech Astronomy.... One of two things happened, aliens did crash and they think its our fault and we are trying to fix it after all these years or the aliens survived, and just waiting for E-T to phone home or they did phone home hitched a ride and left some cool stuff behind.
The F117 was based out of the skunk works and was based out of Groom Lake and once declassified i believe moved to nellis.
Its also a shame if you look at google earth, there are litterly 1000's of F-14's f-15's f-16's, a-10's apache, cobra, hueys rotting in the desert. Millions of tax dollars.

22s are actually held on the flightline next the the thunderbirds, I work on the hospital side of the base, but much further down the road in a building hidden in all the solar panels.

They aren't rotting, they are in the desert so they DON'T rot.
More like billions of tax dollars.
