Midweek Sortie 26: Edwards AFB—From Sonic Boom to Stealth

From Chuck Yeager’s sonic boom to today’s stealth and autonomous test programs, Edwards Air Force Base remains America’s desert proving ground for the future of flight.

“The future of the Air Force is flying over Edwards Air Force Base today.”

— Retired Air Force Lt. Col. and 412th Test Wing spokesman Mike Paoli
