Pilot wanted for the world's most mysterious passenger jet: Service that flies to America's secret Area 51 military base posts ad for first officer
Secretive service, called Janet Airlines, flies from Las Vegas to Area 51 base
The fleet, operated by the US Air Force, is now advertising for a pilot
The successful pilot must have at least 3,000 hours of flying experience
They must also be eligible for top secret security clearance
The world's most mysterious airline is advertising for a pilot to fly US government workers to the secretive Area 51 military base.
A fleet of passenger aircraft is stabled at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport to ferry workers to the off-limits area in rural Nevada, and anyone who boards one is sworn to secrecy about where they're going and what they do for a living.
The planes, which don't carry any company logos – they're plain white with a red band down the side - are operated by the US Air Force and are often referred to as Janet Airlines because that's the call sign the planes in it use while in civilian airspace.
Now it appears that the airline is looking to hire a new first officer pilot after posting a job vacancy on the website of AECOM, a private defence contractor that operates the service.
According to the job description, the successful candidate will be expected to transport passengers and cargo and to ensure the safety of the flight at all times.
He or she will also be given the responsibility of ordering changes in fuel supply, load and route and must adhere to the procedures of the federal government.
The ad also states that all candidates must have a minimum of 3,000 fixed wing flying hours with 300 of them within the past five years
In addition to holding various different pilot licences, they should also be able to qualify for government security clearance and must be willing to live in the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
Earlier this year, an ad was placed on the AECOM wesbite for a member of cabin crew to work on the airline.
According to that vacancy ad, candidates were told they should be able to perform regular flight attendant duties such as passenger safety briefings, emergency procedures and light cleaning.
It is believed that all Janet Airlines flights fly out of a private terminal at McCarran nicknamed Gold Coast.
From Las Vegas they fly north-west to a place that has what's widely regarded as the most restricted airspace in the world, the Area 51 base in the Nevada Test and Training Range.
It has been reported that once the Janet aircraft approach this secretive area their call signs change from the likes of 'Janet 210' to 'bones 58
