In Summer 2009, I took a training class at Edwards Air Force Base, located in the Mojave Desert of California. As you might expect, it was quite hot out there that time of the year, but I made the best of it by shooting aircraft photos at the Edwards AFB Museum and NASA Dryden's static displays. It was quite a thrill to visit the base where so many historic aviation moments occurred...
