New Top Secret Construction at Area 51
Something big is in the works at Nevada's legendary <a href="/page/11/Area-51.html">Area 51</a> military base. A massive <a href="http://www.dreamlandresort.com/area51/2007_new.html" target="_blank">new building</a> is under construction at the top secret location. Aviation experts say there's a good chance that a new, highly classified aircraft might soon be zipping around the Nevada skies.
What kind of aircraft? One possibility is a successor to the SR-71 spy plane, the SR-72.
The SR-71 Blackbird is widely regarded as the greatest airplane ever built. It sliced through the sky at Mach 3 and still reigns, officially anyway, as the fastest plane in history. Groom Lake, also known as Area 51, was home for the Blackbird during its early days. The question is -- will Area 51 also be the location of choice for the development of a successor, and maybe more than one?
