No shirt, no shoes, no dice.... Base Camp Airport, Nye County Nevada. August 2024 Built to support the Nevada Test Site by the AEC back in the 1960's its ownership and use is murky. Occasional aircraft like choppers associated with Area 51 are spotted there and on Nav Charts it has the crossed out circle which means abandoned but its well maintained and active. The sat image from google shows a recently resurfaced runway with the aforementioned X instead of the usual runway numbers meaning inactive but it clearly is in use. There is a caretaker there but I stayed on the road so as to not disturb thier Sunday plant watering activities. Plus not tome mention there is not much out there.
