Dear DI members,
this is my first thread (and post) here. Firstly, I would like to say hello to everyone and welcome to my thread.
Since October 2022, I've completed five separate trips to the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) for aircraft spotting. Since I was twelve, I always wanted to visit my favourite Air Force US locations and after about 14 years of long awaiting period, I managed to see two of the most important and secure (indeed!) ones - Groom Lake and Tonopah Test Range, for the first time.
Long story short, I think it is safe to assume that most regular users here have seen my productions already, so there is no point to describe each trip extensively but I would be delighted to share some links that, I hope, everyone will find interesting.
Let's take a look, then...
Cancelled Test at Groom after base's UH-60 spots me on Tikaboo! October 12, 2023:

At the same point, I would like to say that both of the locations are still pretty much active and there is plenty of operations during a day (as well as at night) that are regularly undertaken, for instance:
[-] F-117's are still pretty active with at least two of them flying for training sorties out of TTR on a daily basis (I managed to see them three out of five times I was up there) - they are flying for about 1,5-2 hours for a day and then RTB.
[-] Groom-based UH-60 still investigates spotters/climbers atop of Tikaboo Peak, especially if they are supposed to launch something black.
[-] TTR sometimes is to be visited by at least several cargo / transport planes at the same day, then fly a few missions, then get back to TTR.
... and more to come soon, hopefully.
I welcome any questions in regarding to my sightings, trips and everything else that is related to that very subject of me. I will be happy to answer, discuss and extend on everything that may be a point of interests
Cheers
