Day 8 - Barstow to Santa Monica - Part 3

So I moved on to where the natives are slightly more friendly - Edwards AFB West Gate - Century Circle

YF-100 - the second of the two Super Sabre prototypes:


F-101B Voodoo:


TF-102A Delta Dagger - side-by-side trainer, used for its whole career at Edwards for testing:


I had to do an Internet search to remind myself why the F-103 is missing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_XF-103



F-104A Starfighter, also an Edwards test aircraft:


This is the leading edge of the wing, NOT the trailing edge:


F-105D Thunderchief "Thud" (the biggest single-seater I have ever seen - it's 64' long, 9' longer than a Lightning):


F-106B Delta Dart:


YC-15:


I only saw this sign, AFTER I had finished walking around :
