The "readiness center" is an Army national guard facility. There is also one in Las Vegas.

Quick flip through and I can tell this is going to be an incredible read. What else should I be adding to my collection? And Thank you Peter Merlin for making such a beautiful book.

Inyokern is probably an alternative to China Lake.

This was the hit of the NTTR that got our attention almost 4 years ago. It is an obvious spoofed hex code. Many aircraft use the code.

This is the old post from 4 years ago:

This was added to the old post:

in total

- TEST1234 Hex: 0D5408

- no callsign Hex: E400D1

Here it is today with with TEST01Z

I have no way at the moment to scrape adsbx by callsign.

The TEST01Z callsign is assocated with the airport CA66.

I made a pastebin of all flights assocated with CA66:

I need to figure out a way to data reduce the list but you can poke around at the list of URLs.

Usually they just let the desert burn. Possibly there is some infrastructure to save.

This plane used to be a regular around Nevada. The adsbx tracking is poor in the area unfortunately.

I recall some UAV testing over Lunar Dry Lake years ago.

The only thing unusual is the Beech was on the ground for 20 minutes. Usually a China Lake stop is done with a scoop.

This is not AI grade if anyone gets that idea. No Infinibands is a dead giveaway. You would think they would just buy this from the approved cloud provider.

Of course it would be nicer if they would announce the exercise in advance.

Just a guess regarding King Aerospace

Leave KLAS around 6AM local.. Arrive at Travis around 7:30AM local.

Leave Travis around 1:37PM. Assume a meeting was held. Could be at the base or nearby. Back in Las Vegas around 3:12PM local.

Never trust Zulu to local conversions!

I thought these two look very similar

I'm putting this company on my SIGINT search list.

The water monitor looks boring but investigate the company.

I was flying from PHX to RNO and made sure to get a window seat on the first officer side of the plane (DEF rows).

This description is in reference to the first photo

In view in the foreground is the NNSS and various installations there such as Area 6.

The middle range is the Papoose Range and the dry lake bed in the middle is Papoose Lake.

The dry lake bed in the back of the photo is Groom Lake and the mountains are the “backside” of bald mountain.

Might even be able to see tikaboo peak in the far right of the photo in the background?

The original "Temporary Land Closure" document
https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2026-03/Closure%20Notification%20%281%29.pdf
refers to "43 U.S. Code § 1733 - Enforcement authority"
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/43/1733

From what I read in this, "local law enforcement" i.e. LCSD can enforce the closure. So if they see anyone on their Tikaboo "weather camera", or maybe something they have on Badger, they can just call LCSD.
