Little Skull Mountain Tunnel (north adit)

Little Skull Mountain Tunnel (north adit)
Nellis AFB, Nevada (NV), US
Little Skull Mountain was at one time being drilled for the MX Missile program's stationary rockets.

In 1983 REECo miners, used a 256-ton tunnel boring machine to drill a 750-foot tunnel into Little Skull Mountain as part of the project. The tunnel was later used by the Air Force to investigate equipment and methods for post-attack "dig-out" from underground missile complexes.
