i mentioned edwards in case things got really bad
any pilot in the world that doesn't know that edwards is somewhere between las vegas and los angeles in a general sense isn't worth their salt.
las vegas has a very, very long runway and could easily have accomadated an expeditious return for landing.
there must be alot to this story...some good stuff coming out here about airbus systems.
jetblue not having major military airfields on their data base is pretty weak.
