I betcha a buck you never heard of Janet Air. Yet if you've been to Las Vegas, you may have seen its planes sitting on the tarmac. Just look for the aircraft with a red stripe running horizontally across its fuselage windows.
Janet Air flies exclusively between Las Vegas and the infamous Area 51, about 80 miles north of downtown Vegas. It's where the U.S. Government supposedly is stashing alien UFOs and ostensibly an alien or two that crash-landed somewhere in the desert in the 1950s.
No, it's not transporting aliens to and from Las Vegas. Rather, it's transporting people who work there and live in sin city.
I learned about Janet Air on the History Channel program, How the States Got Their Shapes. They had a special program on areas of the U.S. that aren't owned by anybody 'cept the Federal Government. Mighty interesting indeed, and if you get a chance, check out the series.
Curious, I was able to take this picture from a service road just off the Las Vegas Strip, across from the Four Seasons Hotel next to the Mandalay Bay. Turn toward the airport on the little street next to the Smart Mart.
Just one more interesting thing to do when you get tired of gambling, or after you have your picture taken at the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.
