Been there, done that, maybe 6 times. Great fun, at both locations. One time a lighting strike, one time we FOD the left engine when we inhaled a stork (white) on final at HP (home plate)
I think most commercial Jets would have stopped right after landing and had services. But the secretcy of Janet allowed them to parade services all the way back to the hanget
@@speedibusrexThe United States government itself doesn't even admit that Janet exists, when the aircraft are quite literally there. It's all meant to be highly top secret and the airline is claimed to not have involvement with the government
It's an Area 51 transport plane for military and civilians with security clearance. It looks more like there was no issue and more as if they were protecting this specific plane. I've seen so many emergency landings and there is something off about this one especially knowing what this plane is used for.
It was an engine issue, they retrurned to LAS about 30 minutes after departing. I pulled the ATC audio and working on uploading. Pretty uneventful and a precautionary return.
Depends on the configuration ATC (runways in use) is in and the emergency declared. As long as the 19/01 runways are open, departure/arrivals will resume as soon as the emergency crew and aircraft vacate the runway.
JANET has a few destinations besides Area 51, like Tonopah and the Tonopah Test Range. When the destination is listed as 'N/A' we assume it's probably going to Area 51.
That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard on the internet so far. You realize that not only do these pilots have to have a top secret clearance, they have to have more than 5000 hours of 737 time to even apply for this job. You don't get 5000 hours 737 time unless your at a major. Do some research before posting your ill informed ignorant statements on the internet.
