$LAC y'all following the flight logs?
2/25 -> to 3/2 has seen a 300% spike in corporate jet arrivals into WMC Winnemucca.
Some key notable events:
$F N200F Feb 26th
$TSLA N628TS Feb 28th
$PCRHY N550GA Mar 1st this is a Gulfstream charter jet associated with Panasonic North America.
(Battery connection/Panasonic tie-in: while it's not directly listed on the FAA flight log as a Panasonic jet, as it's a charter flight, N550GA has a high-frequency flight path between EWR/TEB and Reno-Tahoe (RNO). Reno is the hub for Giga Nevada, where Panasonic is the primary battery cell manufacturer. EWR and TEB are the airports serving Panasonic's HQ)
These three aircraft arriving at WMC within this timeframe is NOT a coincidence.
$F is looking at Phase 2, as is
