For those members not familiar with NAS Fallon,
this web site shows the area that Larry, Greg,
and I have been talking about.
Page three best shows the B-19 Range that they
have been to, as well as the B-17/Dixie South
area where I was last week and saw the Tank and
Rocket Launcher.

Have fun. The activity is hit or miss but many of the bombing is done with aircraft above 10,000 ft AGL.
