Tonopah Test (Silverbow). A few others also went in and out of Silverbow. Money flights (all 
transports) and a few other types on Groom approach/departure "CONTROL". Some flight test stuff and
just a little bit of air refueling on AR-625 (outside of the NTTR). What sounds like mostly 
Weapons school Blue air exercise is at the end of this part. Caliente, Revielle, Elgin, Coyote
