"Janet: The secret US airline that flies to Area 51" by Aerospace Global News - One of the worst-kept secrets: workers at the secret USAF base at Groom Lake, Nevada #KXTA, a.k.a. "Area 51", commute to work from Las Vegas #KLAS on a military contractor airline. All we know for sure about it is they fly 737-600s and use the radio callsign "Janet". https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/janet-the-secret-us-airline-that-flies-to-area-51/ #military #aviation #travel #avgeek

So how do we know the airport code of the _secret_ Air Force base at Groom Lake #Area51 is #KXTA? That was a big #oops on someone's part in 2007. A routine aviation navigation database update was not scrubbed for classified material and... there it was. The story was broken by AOPA when pilots noticed it on #aviation GPS units. USAF response: "We know. It doesn't matter." 😀 Student pilots needed to be taught not to use it as a waypoint. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2008/january/10/dont-ask-dont-tell-area-51-gets-airport-identifier #military #avgeek #history #WTF

@ikluft There's an ATR at our local international airport and it's pretty common knowledge that it belongs to the CIA.
