Fallon Naval Air Station
I have some spare time and am interested in driving up to Fallon to see what
goes off up there. Can anyone let me know what kind of flying takes place there and what (and where) you can see? Any frequencies would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I'm not interested in getting on to the base, as a civilian, I'm principally
in getting photos of the aircraft flying (that's a hobby of mine). "qui si parla Campagnolo" wrote in message ups.com...

Not sure you can even get on the base as a civilian.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It may be a matter of luck, but back in the mid-1980's, while driving east of Fallon on US 50, I saw some strikers working a range that was situated south of the highway. I would guess (and it's a WAG) that I was about 35 to 40 miles east of Fallon. I have no idea what ranges NAS Fallon uses today or if any of them are visible from an area accessable to the public. If you go, you might ask a local, but a caution: not everyone in the area loves the Navy. Take care . . . John |

Instead of everyone's just idly speculating, why not start by looking at NAS Fallon's web site:
