Description
The Osprey SUPERBASE series takes the enthusiast behind the scenes on the world's major airbases. Here's what's happening on the Edwards ramp today...
Front cover: The test pilot carefully manoeuvres his F-16A beneath the towering tail of a KC-135 Stratotanker high over the Edwards ranges. Carrying full Air Force Systems Command markings on the tail, this Fighting Falcon is just one of several assigned to 6512nd Test Squadron.
Back cover: Cruising along over Edwards, a veteran RF-4C Phantom II clearly stands out against the sky blue background. The paint job is a trademark of Test Squadron Phantom IIs
Title pages: An impressive line-up on the long ramp at Edwards. Besides the solitary F-111A, 14 F-4's of various marks can be seen in the hot California sunshine. All these types are assigned to the 6512nd Test Squadron (TS) of the Air Force Systems Command, based at Edwards. The twin towers which dominate the flightline are a striking feature of the base.
