Janet (airline)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janet is the de facto name for a small fleet of Boeing 737 passenger jets operated and likely owned by defense contractor EG&G. The aircraft serve the Nevada Test Site (most notably Area 51) from their terminal at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport. The origin of the word "Janet" is obscure and while it is used as a radio callsign it is not known whether the name is an official name, code word, or acronym. One possible meaning is that of an acronym, meaning "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal". The Janet aircraft are painted white with red trim (the livery of now defunct Western Airlines), and include 6 Boeing 737-200's and several smaller executive jets. Their tail numbers are registered to several unexceptional civil aircraft leasing corporations. It is rumored that one of the aircraft is a modified Boeing T-43.
