George Crockett Airport or Alamo Airport opened in 1942, from there he gave up his lease so the county could buy it and lease it back to him and he ran Almo Aviation and eventually the airport was renamed McCarran after Nevada Senator Pat McCarran.

In the 1950s, Alamo provided support to military aircraft involved in the above-ground nuclear testing program at the Nevada Test Site, northwest of Las Vegas.

Now in the 1950's and up until today there is a company called EG&G a defense contractor that flies black ops flights, 3 a day to the Area 51 from LAS west side of the airport. Non descriptive white in color planes, no markings at all. It's now called *Janet with very secret 737's plain white 737 with its own fueling and maintained crew



*Janet
A highly classified small fleet of passenger aircraft known as "Janet" is operated for the United States Air Force to transport military and contractor employees. It mainly serves the Nevada National Security Site (most notably Area 51 and TTR), from their terminal at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport.[1] The fleet's "Janet" call sign, from which its de facto name comes, is said to stand for "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal". lol ��

Now these planes aren't the only mode of transportation to these secret sites, they use transport buses as well. They have a staging area where the workers can park in a secure location out of town and all ride these buses to the test site, Area 51 and Even perhaps Tonopah, NV which is declared a mining town but has secret government programs going on.

In 1959 we had just under a million passengers and last year we had about 45 million so we are I think top 25 busiest in the world for passenger traffic.

Just some history of stuff. And yes, when they use to let loose the underground atomic blast I could feel them and see the cloud from my house. That's a true fact !
Janet flies way more than 3 times per day. I used to go to vegas a few times per year for a week or two at a time. I would stay at delano, luxor etc. luxor suites look directly at the airport and I was shocked how active janet planes were. I would say at least 9-12 flights per day with sometimes 3 planes often at the tarmac at once. They climb out extremely fast as well.

Yes, you are most likely correct as my memory thought 3 but that was a number of years ago and they did fly the 737-200 then not the newer versions -600 as I see them fly mainly north bound from LAS but not often as I use to since I live west now

As an Edit: at the time they had only three 737's. Not sure now
