With a bit of hacking, you can make itunes and quicktime play ogg, but
please don't clog up the newsgroup asking me how. Here is your clue:

Now for the scanner audio. This is Groom Lake tower, approach/
departure, and ground all mixed in one file. The recording was done
5/14/2008. The callsign of the month was Raven. That is, the Janet
aircraft use the Janet callsign when under civilian ATC, but use the
Raven under military ATC. Slow movers are other Janets. Fast movers
are fighter type aircraft. Company traffic means another Janet
aircraft, generally the 737s

This file is a combination of Nellis ATC, Groom Lake tower, and Groom
Lake approach/departure. The Beech Janets use the military callsign
plus a single digit that is the last number in the tail number. That
is, Raven 3 is N623RA. Southwest 7373 is a charter plane landing at
Nellis AFB.

This is Nellis weapons school audio. I skipped the air to air fighting
and limited the audio to just the ground action.

There is a reference to "terror", which may be "Terrorist Canyon." I
created a Google KMZ overlay file that places the Nellis "Terrorist
Canyon" map over Google Earth.

This audio is of a non-janet aircraft (callsign sounds like Boke 11)
receiving the navigation fix SHOWW. SHOWW is a fix that is not
published, but reserved by Nellis AFB.
