Do you mean Tonopah? One can usually get a good look at the old Red Eagles MIG/F117 Stealth base (with covered parking slots) on a good day.
Yup, about 20 miles off the airway, wish I had binoculars with me.


I know we can see the Area 51 dark runway on the dry lake in the distance
Same, a couple of pilots I've flown with have the ATIS freq for the airport. Funny enough, it didn't name the airport when I've listened to it.
