I have finally updated the Janet flight schedule (see attached link). Most of the times remain the same, but almost all the flight numbers have changed.

The schedule shows clearly that there are two regular Janet flights, one on Monday and one on Friday, that bring workers from Palmdale Regional Airport to Area 51 for the week.

It also explains the "mysterious" Janet 278 every Monday from KTKM (Area 51) to KTNX (TTR). The flight simply returns the Janet that flew from TTR via Palmdale to Area 51 to TTR.

The new schedule is a very clear indication that there is a major Lockheed or Northrop project (both have their main R&D facilities near Palmdale) in the works at Area 51. There were occasional flights to KPMD in previous years, but not as part of the regular schedule.
