Edwards Air Force Base/ NASA Dryden Tour 11/19/10



Our tour of the Edwards Air Force Base/ NASA Dryden was an awesome opportunity. From walking into a cargo plane, to cruising alongside planes on the runway, the experience was once in a lifetime. We got to see planes, helicopters, as well as unmanned aircrafts.

Thanks to Mr. Alec Dyatt and Mr. Thane Lundberg for making this amazing tour possible.
