I noticed the new waypoint. Their normal route shouldn't be a problem
with Red Flag, so I just don't know what to make about SHOWW. WWW310
had a goofy plane model ID, but I think it was a typo.

B73G. Also some damn short flight times.

Pyramid -- A visual waypoint used on Groom Approach frequency.
Apparently a pyramid-shaped peak at the south end of the Groom Range.
The peak is not obvious on a map, but it is easily seen by flights from
south due to light colored surface compared to surrounding terrain.
Visible from Mt. Cury (public land east of Mercury).

Now your theory about pryamid is pretty good too.  I haven't looked up
this Mt. Cury, but land east of Mercury that is public seems kind of
odd.

Ok, we've probably talked this to death, but I was thinking, "What is there,
at around the Beatty 060030 point, that might be referred to as 'Pyramid',
much like Mercury is 'Planet'?"  Maybe not an Eygptian pyramid, like the
Luxor, but Mayan, with sloping sides and a flat top?  The Device Assembly
Facility!  It's close to BTY060030 and probably is quite visible as a
landmark.

BTW, it seems the flight plans to Groom have changed a little.  Does this
have something to do with Red Flag?  There's a new waypoint of SHOWW and the
waypoint off of the LAS VOR (Planet) is gone.
