Editing Edwards Air Force Base

'''Edwards Air Force Base''' is located in southern California. It is the primary flight test facility for the United States Air Force. Because of the climate and the long runways on the dry lake it has been used as a landing site for several Space Shuttle missions. Edwards Main Base includes the '''Dryden Flight Research Center''' at its north end and is directly connected to the South Base. 

Edwards AFB is modeled in several excellent Addons.

A very good history of the base is available at Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_Air_Force_Base]


==Runways and Frequencies==
There are three lighted, paved runways:
*04R/22L, 4579m, Concrete
*04L/22R, 3658m, Concrete
*06/24, 2438m, Concrete
