Thanks Matt, great pictures. I am old enough (65) to remember when "Lake X" had the same mystical attraction of Area 51. Always some truth, mixed with speculation and fantasy. It's nice to see that timeless facility being restored. Maybe Mercury will offer a new contract to Mr. Fountain, that will surely be Deja Vu all over again!

Hard to study the pics when they keep flipping so fast

Duly noted. I'll adjust the slideshow image frequency for this one.

Not sure why I can't pause the image when I click on the little clocky thing...on any of Matts stuff really. Am I the only one with that issue?

We don't enable the "pause on mouseover" function in our slideshows because those pauses tend to be inadvertent and aggravating to most (though not all, clearly) users. But I can (and will) slow the image progression.

what was the purpose for inflight refueling........lol
