Janet Airlines tracker

Live OpenSky-fed tracker for the unmarked USAF Janet fleet — Boeing 737s and Beech 1900s ferrying workers from McCarran / Harry Reid (KLAS) to Groom Lake / Area 51 (KXTA) and Tonopah Test Range (KTNX). Callsigns starting with JANET broadcast openly on ADS-B.

What we track

  • Live state vectors — OpenSky /states/all bounded to the Nevada bounding box covering KLAS, KXTA, and KTNX, polled every 5 minutes.
  • Callsign filter — JANET* and JNH* callsigns. ICAO24 codes seen with Janet callsigns are added to a persistent fleet registry.
  • Per-flight telemetry — position, altitude, velocity, heading, squawk, on_ground state, observation timestamps.

Why watch it

Activity patterns reflect operational tempo at Area 51 / Groom Lake / Tonopah. Anomalies — unusual silence, new tail numbers, off-pattern destinations — are signal.
