My Nellis Range Chart shows a "Special Overflight Restrictions" area
centered over the abandoned town of Reveille in the Reveille Range.
This circular area is 3 nautical miles in diameter. Anyone know why
this exists?
There are many other restricted overflight areas in the NTTR, but they
seem to have obvious reasons, such as avoiding inhabited or noise
sensitive spots. This includes most settlements and even a few of the
ranches. Examination of Reveille in GE shows no habitation, just some
old mining sites. There are some online links to its ghost town
status, but the pictures show no especially significant nor vibration
sensitive ruins, just some junk here and there. The links also state
the area was fully abandoned by 1945, so it's been empty a long time.
So what's up with Reveille? Secret underground alien base? Or an
endangered frog easily disturbed by jet noise? Or aliens disturbed by
jet noise?
I'll have to find where I buried my range map after the last office
cleanup. Without the benefit of having the range map in front of me,
the only thing I know of at Reveille is that parts of the area are WSA
(Wilderness Study Area).
Good thought, but the South Reveille WSA isn't the likely culprit.
The WSA is pretty much from just southerly of the townsite of Reveille
south, almost to Cedar Pass Road. Most of the flight restrictions
zone is outside the northerly limits of the WSA. In any event, only
the central spine of the WSA, encompassing Reveille Peak, is in the
area recommended as suitable, with the remainder recommended as
unsuitable. The unsuitable area covers that small part of the flight
restrictions area that's in the WSA.
