- RACHEL, NV -- Chuck
Clark, well-known military watchdog and resident of Rachel, stated yesterday
that a new runway is nearing completion at the Groom Lake/Area 51 base,
just 22 miles south of the tiny community.
-
- "Aligned on a heading that should result in a designation
as Runway 7/25, the runway's sound end is near the southern cluster of
hangars, formerly the A-12 hangars #9 through #16. The new runway is about
4250 feet in length and runs from the edge of the tarmac near the southern
hangars to the edge of Runway 32R/14L", stated Clark.
-
- He said that it would be a logical assumption that the
new runway is intended to support a "new and apparently very aggressive"
UAV design and testing program that will most likely be based in the former
A-12 hangars.
-
- He also confirmed that in addition to the new runway,
two very large new fuel tanks have recently appeared in the tank farm along
with one or two new smaller tanks.
