Hello All.
I noticed there is no ATC listing for Dreamland, AKA Area-51, located about 100 north of Las Vegas. This is where some very interesting crafts are tested.
Is there a representation of Dreamland in the form of the longest runway in the world? There should be. The little town of Rachel Nevada is just outside the restricted zone.
Been there many times and was chased out by a very bright light that suddenly turned itself on about 3 ft away from my passenger window (not a sound to be heard either!!), hovering about 5 feet above the car and followed me all the way to Rachel. About 10-million candlepower at least!
Very frickin' scary, but interesting, although my wife didn't think so. I got my ass chewed out all the way back to Las Vegas! Hee hee...
Hope to see it on the map...
Good Day.

It's on my updated map that may or may not become the offical object placement. But my map will definitely be used in my Red Flag 00-01 TE. As for ATC for it, I guess it would be "Groom Lake" or "Dreamland" tower but they surely don't have a VHF or UHF freq for this. IF they even bother with radio comms there it would be secure. My bet would be that they don't use comms there at all for traffic. Even Air Force jets using the various ranges surronding it cannot over-fly Area 51 below 12,000 and over-fly is in emergencies only.

As for pronounciation, they all are pretty much like they seem. Tonopah sounds just like it is spelled, not sure about Pahute. Also there a lot of airports on your list in the real world that don't have towers (i.e. Echo Bay) Of course I don't think Falcon has any untowered airports. Even the highway airstips have control towers right?
