You probably won't see any photos of the Lockheed Martin Aerial Operations Facility as it's deep inside the Nevada Test Site. You are not allowed to take any cameras, cell phones, etc. on that tour. You drive right past it on Mercury Highway going out to Yucca Flat. On my tour they did not acknowledge the new airfield or the Device Assembly Building nearby. Next time I take the tour, I will be sure to ask what airport is that over there, just to hear the "party line." I was surprised they mentioned Area 51 before we boarded the bus out to the NTS. IMHO, I don't see the harm in letting cameras out there. The closest you get to the AOF is like 3 miles. All the craters are just holes in the ground! It's not like they let you in to see anything top secret like NORAD or something. ;-)
