Scooternutz Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I have found nine areas that appear to be actual bombing ranges in the NTTR area. 6 for sure. They are clearly outlined and are from the satellite imagery but can be used and dressed up with some object placement. The Tonopah Airfield is present but it is a fuzzy satellite image. The original Russian and North Korean airfield South of Goldfield and East of Beatty are there, again satellite images. There may be a range near the Mercury area and I am not sure if it was a nuclear test area. Looks like a dedicated conventional range now. The distances average 100nm from Nellis and 50 from Groom Lake. And that brings me to my next point. We all know that Tonopah was built for the F-117 and other Black Project aircraft. Area 51 has its secrets but wouldn't it be something if Area 51 was used as a mid range refueling and rearming base so all aircraft would not have fly all the way back to Nellis. What if the government just let the legend grow and what the reality is its really a big nothing?

Snoopy Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The 476th has some things in the works, some may end up being released to the public. Now what Nevada is "released" some of the plans we've had for the last few years may finally come to light. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra99 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) So... Using the information provided on the website posted above, I spent the evening creating a NTTR Master Target list. I copied MOST of the targets listed onto a blank map using Windsocks as Target icons. (I say "Most" because I think I'm missing 1 or 2...but it's too late and i'm to tired to figure out which ones they are.) Understand there are NO TARGET on this map. Only an placemark at the approximate location where targets are normally deployed. (I used very exacting guess work and judgement in placing the targets that didn't actually line up with something that looked...like a target) Hopefully knowing where targets are normally placed on the range should help us create better missions that are as realistic as possible. That is after were all done buzzing the strip.

xray20 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Google Map of real bombing ranges I am building a base mission file based on real world imagery which has objects placed on the ground where at the moment they are just flat images. I'm absolutely amazed at how many ranges and targets there are out there. Some are quite mysterious. I have found tanks in revetments, numerous airfields scratched out of the sand. There is a CAMOUT facility (Combined Arms Military Operations in Urban Terrain) - an entire village made out of containers and junk- a few miles to the north west of Creech. A disused railway siding seems to have containers placed on the track taking the place of carriages. Some circles, which I found, turn out not to be targets, but marks in the desert to assess the effects of underground nuclear detonations. I have saved my findings on a google map. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zitToDztQ4m0.kIOfWAq5hAKA&usp=sharing Please PM me if you have found something interesting and would like to add it to the map and I will include it or add you as an editor. I have not yet had a chance to see if all of the objects seen on google are visible on the NTTR map, but so far everything I have found is there. I have also been using the Nellis Red Flag 2014 Guide (link available elsewhere on the forum) and entering the reporting points (FLEX, NIXON etc.) as IP points. These give a good idea of where the action is to be found. I will post my .miz file when its good to go if 476th don't beat me to it.

Many thanks to the 476th for releasing their mission to other groups to be offered on public servers. I've been flying it on the 104th.....excellent. I wouldn't expect anything less.
