Edwards Air Force Base, located 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles on 301,000 acres in the Mohave Desert, originally started out and remains today, the premier testing site for commercial and military aircraft.

Boasting the longest and safest runways in the world, today it is home to the 412th Test Wing.
