Not too far fetched really......I was stationed at Nellis, some years ago now, but on traveling to base once went by on a seldom used road......In places the dust/sand had covered the roadway in patches..Could not see the actual road, so had to aim for the other side of the patch....In the Vegas valley the wind often blew the dust and dirt across back and forth...........Airstrips on or near dry lake bed could easily be covered and very hard to see.................
