{{Main|Tonopah Test Range Airport}}
One of the primary facilities on the TTR is a large airfield ([[Area 10 (NTS)|Area 10]]), consisting of a {{convert|12000|ft|m|adj=on}} runway and numerous hangars.  About five minor abandoned airfields exist throughout the TTR<ref>[https://www.airfieldsfreeman.com/NV/Airfields_NV_C.htm Abandoned & Little Known Airfields: Central Nevada], Paul Freeman, accessed 18 August 2010.</ref>  which were primarily used during World War II by units based at [[Tonopah Army Air Field]] (now serving as Tonopah's municipal airport).  Only '''Mellan Airstrip''', {{convert|11|mi}} southeast of Tonopah Test Range Airport, survived past the 1960s, upgraded to a {{convert|5000|ft|adj=on}} concrete runway.  A US Air Force assessment published in 2000 indicated it was a minimally adequate airfield which was used to support tactical C-130 and C-17 training.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20021125145400/http://www.nellis.af.mil/pa/Cedarpass.htm Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Cedar Pass Airfield], 99 CES/CEVN, Nellis AFB, April 2000, accessed 18 August 2010.</ref>
