US Government Shutdown Strands Airline Fleet That Takes Passengers To Area 51

[Initech]

The government shutdown affects federal employees all over the country, even those at America's favorite top secret military base, Area 51.

Las Vegas TV news reporter George Knapp of KLAS-TV, tweeted that the government's shutdown has grounded the special fleet of passenger jets (seen in the image above) -- known as Janet Airlines -- that normally transport Area 51 workers back and forth between a special section of McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas and the actual secretive base located north of Vegas at Groom Lake.

After decades of official denial, the U.S. government finally, in August, publicly acknowledged that Area 51, seen in the satellite image below, has been the focal point of top secret development programs of high-altitude spy plane technology developed by the CIA.
