The Panoramas below were taken by Steve Hauser in March 1997 from a view spot known as Brainwash Butte. Reproduction here with Steve's friendly permission. Click in the previews for a high-resolution panorama.

The wide-angle panorama shows, from left (south) to right (north):

• Old main base area with shops and administration offices and the old water tower. A new, larger, water tower has recently been added south of the buildings, as can be seen in Google Earth.
• Janet terminal with two aircraft (a Janet Boeing 737 and a Dehavilland DHC-7^(*) )
• Southern taxi way
• Main ramp area
• New administration offices, workshops and new tower
• TTR VOR in the background
• Several rows of hangars used for the F-117 aircraft while they were stationed at TTR, while still classified. These hangars are now again used to store the mothballed F-117's.
• In the middle of the F-117 hangars is a service area and squadron buildings, used for the F-117 program
• The main runway, behind the F-117 hangars
• Northern Taxiway
• Explosives Storage Area in the foreground

^(*) The Janet Boeing 737 are operated by EG&G as a shuttle for Area 51 and TTR employees from Las Vegas. The Dehavilland DHC-7 "N54026", owned by DOE and operated by Ross Aviation, was used to as a similar shuttle for Sandia personnel.
