Most likely to be up at China Lake NAWS but there again it looks too green.

YPG and China lake are easily confused as the skyline is similar.

We used to operate from a strip called Laguna at YPG. A good few miles (40 ish?) further north was a desert strip that the USAF used for C17 testing (Some good footage on Youthingy). This was almost adjacent to another strip they used for UAVs. I don't believe we ever used it as the stones were too big for our Hercs. I had a look on G Earth but it may have overgrown since I was there in Oct 2009

I think the last time they went to El Cento was 2005 - FMS case ran out!!!

The guys from Jate will know best. I have been away from it all for a while now.

Bang Crown Pinnacle in your search engine if you have time to browse.
