Small desert airstrip near the Nevada Test and Training Range.

Location

Rachel, United States

Rachel Airport is a small, uncontrolled general aviation airstrip located near Rachel, Nevada, a remote community in Lincoln County situated along State Route 375, famously known as the Extraterrestrial Highway. The facility serves as a basic landing strip for light private aircraft visiting or passing through one of the most sparsely populated areas of the United States. The airport is in close proximity to the Nevada Test and Training Range and the restricted airspace surrounding Area 51 (Nellis Air Force Base's Groom Lake facility), making it a destination of curiosity for aviation enthusiasts and tourists interested in the region's military and UFO lore. Due to the extremely small population of Rachel, commercial airline service is nonexistent.
