You can never say never when it comes to sneaky people, but that runway is shown as a collection of targets on the USGS map. [See link.]

I try to log coordinates when they give them out during exercises, and I haven't heard them bomb (or simulate bombing as I think that area is not live fire) that far south in the range above the NTS. The closest spot I heard bombed is about 7.8 miles to the north.

[The do bomb at Dog Bone Lake, which is further south, but not close to the NTS.

Area 19 is at
N37.28940 W116.30084
I thought the whole idea of the runway at Area 19 was that you can't see it. ;-)
