14 or so years ago, a recruiter was trying to get me interested in a "Las Vegas" area job. Decided I did not want to live in a desert like that.

Who knows, might have been a real fun job.

Turned one on Kauai as well once I looked at the cost of a house there.

Too bad the flight attendants won’t be allowed to hang out at the world’s largest stainless steel swimming pool!

Maybe they can get some of these young ladies to apply.

They missed the most important requirement...capable of playing the guitar.

For those who aren't familiar — and don't follow extraterrestrial rumors — Area 51, located deep in the Nevada desert, has long been considered one of the country’s most mysterious locations.

I think that "Alien" thing is a cover up. I read that the real secret is that with all those exotic fuel mixtures they use in tests, the inevitable spillage poisoned acres of land. Some wag said the EPA would have a conniption fit if they knew about it.

Some years back the Las Vegas Review Journal had a series about workers out there coming to their docs with all these mysterious ailments. The docs were raising Hell because the government refused to say what those people were exposed to, and many of them died ahead of their time because of it.

Cool. I know those planes and they go to Tonopah as well.

Groom Lake is closer to Beatty.

Not a bad gig if you can get it.

Janet Airline has been around for a number of years. It mainly serves the Nevada National Security Site (most notably Area 51 and the Tonopah Test Range), from their terminal at Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport. The fleet’s “Janet” call sign, from which its de facto name comes, is said to stand for “Just Another Non-Existent Terminal.” They are also the connecting point for Groom Lake.

Watched them take off many times while I was at that airport. I always pointed out to folks around me to see if they can get a tail number off one of those planes.

Last time I was there, last NOV, I watched as they ran one of those planes up in front of the commercial plane line up and it took off.

All the cool jobs are in the desert :)

“Or, maybe write in a novel to be found after your death. That way neither the aliens nor the government can come after you.”

The government surely, but the aliens - well, it depends on which group you are talking about ...

I worked at the site in the early ‘80’s.

An on site security presentation suggested we answer “Weird looking things”, when asked what’s out there.
