"Janet Airways"
More flights to Area 51 than any other airline!
NOTE:
This page has not been maintained since 1995, and the flights
have probably changed.
Workers at the top secret Groom Lake (Area 51) and Tonopah Test Range (TTR)
air bases commute to work
aboard 737 jets from a not-so-remote terminal at McCarran Airport
in Las Vegas. It is only two blocks from the Las Vegas Strip!
On aviation frequencies, the jets are known by
the company name "Janet," a name whose meaning is unknown
[See glossary].
Each jet is a 737-200 (or CT-43, the military equivalent) with a single
red stripe along the side and
no company name or insignia. Smaller Beechcraft Kingair
prop-driven planes
make special trips to Edwards AFB and other destinations.
...So bring your security clearance and your visa card,
because Janet will take you to Dreamland but they won't take
American Express!
Data
- Janet Equipment. Tail numbers and registrations.
- Flight Schedules. About twenty round-trips
daily.
- Las Vegas Terminal Diagram. Layout of
parking lot and local roads. List of observation points.

of cars.

pilots and controllers. Also: "Janet" name theories.

News and Sightings
6/20/96: Helicopter sighting. For the first time, I saw a helicopter
land at the Janet terminal. It had the same paint scheme as the Janet
737s, with one horizonal red stripe and no obvious company name. I
could not see any tail number, but I was quite distant and might have
missed it. I took a distant photo with which the model might be identified.
6/30/96: T-Tails spotted in Augusta, GA. A reader [RO] writes:
Your birds seen at Augusta,GA. approx. six times in past six months.
