Groom Lake ICAO designate KXTA

Finally Groom Lake has a name

KXTA

Area 51 designated with a new name - Air Force News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Air Force Times

Though mildly surprised the Air Force Times published this article

Would this be a first step in bringing the dark side into the light?

Then again if anyone has read the excellent book Never In Anger by Anthony 'Bugs' Bendall, there is a bit whereby the author is on exchange at Nellis training 'Thud' crews for deployment to Vietnam and one of his students has a problem in the air whereby both of them landed at an outpost of Nellis and saw the A-12 Oxcart for the first time pre public announcement.

Cheers
