EXCLUSIVE: Navy Accused Of Lowballing Ranch Families In Massive Land Grab

Nevada rancher Adrienne Snow remembers riding horseback across the high desert as military helicopters thundered overhead.

“You could just bottle up what being an American feels like: to be on a horse with military helicopters flying over you and listening to the national anthem from ‘Top Gun,’” Snow told the Daily Caller. “There’s nothing like it.”

For decades, ranching families in Churchill County raised cattle as military aircraft from Naval Air Station Fallon, home to the Navy’s elite TOPGUN program, trained overhead.

Now, Snow and eight other ranching families say the Navy’s massive expansion of the Fallon Range Training Complex could destroy operations that have survived for generations — while paying them only a fraction of what their losses are worth.
