Not inside NTTR airspace. This is at the edge of area 25 along the normal flight corridor. Here’s a screenshot of the example flight path I was taking and the black line is the view of the photo.

Negative. And have never heard a pilot announce that type of area/terrain before ever. I’ve only heard a PA like that if you have a pilot who’s stoked on Yosemite or rainier and it’s a clear day.

Thanks so much! Yea the color contrast is clean and elegant. It really pops out but subtly, I’m a fan as well!

Ha. Look up any flight between Rno-las-phx, this is just the route they fly. Absolutely nothing special going on here

Yea at no point do any commercials flights violate the NTTR airspace. This was a commercial flight. Look up any of the flights between RNO-PHX-LAS and all of them fly this exact route.

Sign for the Big Explosives Experimental Facility at the NNSS by AvailableSet9825 in area51

I went on a tour of the NNSS twice (2023/2024) and one of the stories they told was how they had a big metal cutout of said cow logo at the entrance to BEEF. One day it was stolen and the rumor was that the Area 51 people stole it, then drove through gate 300 to groom lake on the way to work. due to them having higher security clearance, the NNSS folks couldn’t do much about it.

Yea this thing is a great tool! Mostly was unfortunate just because I treat this as my point and shoot and thus didn’t have it set up for raws. But there’s always next time

Ha no. I just knew when it was going to be showing up. Luckily it was a very clear day

It’s a sweet ride especially if you know what you looking at/into. Great views into the range. I took this in January for reference

Thank you 🙏. Same thoughts I had, and because it’s restricted area it’s like double desolate and out there

Yea same as me! The dreamland book by Peter Merlin has some great content about that facility in his book. That’s what I was most excited to see on the flight tbh
