    Has anyone ever taken a base tour?

    As an Air Force vet, this would have interest to me.

    I understand that it is quite a distance from town.

    It is far...my friend used to work out there (active duty)
    But she rotated back to the DC Area a few months ago
    I can ask her if you want?

    I had a friend who was stationed there back in the late 60's. It fact, it was he who introduced me to Las Vegas. Sure, any help would be appreciated.

    Heck, it's not that far to Nellis - only 11 easy miles on the freeway from Downtown. The air shows are great. You can see them doing the acrobatics and smoke trails all the way from the North Strip and from Downtown.
