Don't know if those are Nellis overflow(s) or what....
Recall seeing transit traffic piling up on the weekends (starting Fridays) and them having to park on the inner runway (left)which also served as a taxiway....
In the 60's they didn't use this runway for take offs and landings....Not sure why unless it was an "early" noise abatement effort...Afterburners were not as refined as todays and made a loud boom when ignited...

Neat T-44's...........Love Navy training paint schemes
