Nellis' nice year-round flying weather and location make it perfect for advanced combat aviation training. The base itself covers more than 14, 000 acres, and its huge ranges supply 15, 000 square miles of airspace for flying operations. Because of its size and breadth of mission, the base is home to more squadrons than any other base in the Air Force. Everyone at Nellis - nearly 12, 000 military and civilian staff - plays a vital role in molding the world's finest combat air forces.
