EDWARDS AFB HOME OF USAF TESTING

摘要

Edwards AFB is a famous name in aviation, and today is still at the forefront of aerospace research and test work. This enormous base in California's Mojave Desert, about 100 miles (160km) northeast of Los Angeles, makes use of two huge natural resources: Rogers and Rosamond dry lakebeds. The former is the larger of the two, though both have been used for emergency and test landings.
