And something we all can recognize..

These maps are pretty old. I can tell just by looking for some key indicators about Edwards AFB. Certain buildings that are here now but not in the photos. Certain areas that may or may not have had aircraft during a certain time frame.

If you want old data then these will do you just fine.

Do you remember the "excavation" by the dorms? Or when the SR was shipped to the Museum? Or when the F-15s went to Shadow? Or when the new LOX yard was built? The new MPF? The education buildings by ALS?

The sod on the youth baseball field is old. The sod originally wasn't there. Then my wife and her squadron put sod down. Then later that fall they removed it because it was dying.

Yeah... take a look at Washington DC. You can see the construction going on at both the Pentagon and the WWII Memorial.

I'd say they're about 2 and a half years old. I got here in Jan 02. My wife got here June 02. She deployed December 02 and got back in June 03. We were just starting the process of moving to Shadow around that time frame.

If you look at Shadows ramp you'll see the heavies on what was to become our ramp. Then at the old Eagle ramp you can see all our AGE is there around the compound wall including our old storage bins between the main facility and the northern aircraft shelters. Those were moved down to Shadow. Also another interesting thing is the SR 71 is no longer located on our ramp outside the compound but at the Museum. And on that same ramp where the SR 71 use to be is where we launched the E model for the first multiple pickle of the WCMDs. You can see where our fuel would drop on the ramp. That ramp was rarely used except for during that testing.

I realize now that it's more than 2 years cause we havnt had 3 B1s since then. I also noticed the lack of grey F16s and 15s down at shadow/eagle.

I don't know how long the Marines have been here but they seem to have BOTH of their squadrons here so it's pre invasion Iraq at least.

Side note:

Check out the break area down at south base and tell me what that resembles (it's the park in between buildings.....it has quite a "spirit")

Yeah I saw that. It's about as silly as the Flight Test HQ building.

They are definately old images though and don't contain anything that could be considered a threat to NS.

Well they could be used as simple plans but unless you have a good amount of experience you really cant tell wich road/bldg from what I have to agree with you.

BTW did you go to the LGs party today. I orriginally didnt want to go but $5 for free beer aint bad.

What sucks is our shop lost a #6 Apex (yea I know used in 2 of 1000 screws we actually work on) and I got recalled to explain to the pro super and mait. officer (drunk as a skunk) what we did on day shift.

Turns out an amn from last night had it in his gortex and our morning shift didnt' catch it.
