Hmmm... Are they even allowed to do that? Everything else thats not even as important as this gets some kind of visual treatment...

The area moved a while back, it's also hyped up like crazy. All they did was test new planes.

Yeah wouldn't that be the abandoned A51 area/Nearby disused silos?

There's some urban exploration tales of people who've gone down into some of those and found very little.

BTW check out the aircraft graveyard in arizona on google earth/maps. More interesting than this IMO.

Not to mention a U-2, an F-4, an F-104, and a few others...

Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars

Possibly I’ve seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia’s the story
Believed foretold but who’d suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can’t make sense

Possibly I’ve seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much
