theTonster will run things he wishes to insert by more experienced editors, and has some input from other editors regarding proposed mods to articles. In less literary terms, I see articles that might be clarified by some useful detail. Today I note acitation needed in the Area 51 Article, concerning the place’s Aviation Identity. In Google Earth, there is a recent placemark titled KXTA Homey Airfield, averring that Jeppesen Charts use that ID and actually show the location. I believe the Poster is reliable, as Jepp Charts are very highly regarded by all pilots. I will visit a Jepp dealer at Boeing Field tomorrow to verify this. Also, the article doesn’t mention a VORTAC that plainly shows up in the updated imagery in GE. Somewhere in Tom Mahood’s Area 51 pages on the web, the Navaid is called Mercury, MCY 117.5 MHz, Ch 122. That information may be outdated by now; Mr Mahood’s pages were frozen in 2002, after he figured out what the most plausible Black Projects were doing at, uh, Homey Airfield. He reckons the Air Force is testing particle beam weapons. The mysterious light shows seen from Tikaboo peak drove him to read up on physics, and also led him to return to school.
