I take my boys to point magu and the palmdale plant all the time.. If your an aviation buff like me its heaven..Palmdale gets fricken cold at night.. When i was younger i drove my car on rogers drylake bed and you can see the HUGEEEE asphalt marks used as lines as a guide for the shuttle.. You will always see something out there it;s great...Do you ever go to the show at Edwards?? Chuck usually shows up every year and still flies supersonic for all the people below... Kicks ass...He's gonna push 8- amd is still capable of flying.. One of the greatest test pilots that ever lived...The Russians and the Isralis are awesome as well..
