Edwards AFB.
It is named in memory of U.S. Air Force test pilot Glen Edwards who died while testing the YB-49 Flying Wing.

Hey man dont worry  Like the shot, what happened to Glen Edwards?

Good luck

he died while testing the flying wing,i think it crashed.

Nice shot!  is that a dry lake bed? 

Poor guy.  mechanical error or human error?

I think it was more of a design flaw with the aircraft that caused it to crash.

Don't quote me.......But, I think he entered the flying wing into a stall and could not recover due to the aircraft's then strange design and lack of computer management systems:-/
