Wouldn't be them if they have four jet engines. The ones for Groom Lake
are 737's (two engines below wing) painted white with red stripes down
the side. They fly out of the E&G cargo facility (they are the
contractors) at McCarren International Airport in Vegas which is in
Nevada which is also where Groom Lake is if I remember. They are never
given fighter escort due to the fact that the base technically doesn't
exist even though the gov. even admits it does now. Go figure. The
planes make several flights out in the morning and then start the
reverse in the mid afternoon every weekday ferrying what is understood
to be the government contracted employees. HTH

I remember reading sometime ago about a goverment installation that the
people get ferried in by jet. I want to say Groom Lake, but I could be
wrong. But they have like 5-6 Boeing 7x7 aircraft than make runs in the
morning and in the evening.. I think they land in Vegas..
