          For security, primary access to #Area51 was by aircraft. A C-124 would transport U-2 components & personnel from California to #Area51.

          #Area51 was also called “Watertown” because runoff from surrounding mountains would flood dry lakebed of Groom Lake.pic.twitter.com/Cgfj0zi7Zi
