The new fence at the north end of Nellis AFB is up. Hank just sent me this photo, with the following comments. Thanks Hank! --- This is the new fence at Nellis. It runs north and south along Las Vegas Blvd. It starts at the old dirt road turn in, and runs two miles. About 3/4 of a mile past the Area 2 entrance, sometimes called the prison rd. you can turn into the desert. I was there Friday and all the fighters that came in to land turned on final behind me. The only aircraft ive seen make a straight in approach over Apex were the AWACS, tankers, 52s, and some stealthy stuff. This is the first time ive been out there since the fence went up but I imagine the landing patterns havent changed much. Looks like the ball park will be the new spot for pics.
Hank
