Also since the size of the airplane you have to go through TSA screening where they take GPS and compasses away from you for the trip. It all had to so with base security and things like that. Anyways when you get there you get a short tour and never to the good parts. Then back to Vegas.  It seemed like a waste of money to me. I guess that changed if they are allowing regular GA to fly there now. |
Was it one of these?

Those are what the employees ride on to the base everyday.
Im willing to bet all the money I have (which is only about $50) that your friends information was not accurate. No way can you catch a ride to Area 51 and take a tour. The government doesn't even acknowledge is existence.
